Los Angeles in the summer of 1985 was supposed to feel glamorous…palm trees…neon lights…endless highways…and Hollywood dreams. But while people slept with their windows open in the California heat, someone was moving through the darkness. He climbed through unlocked windows and walked through unlocked doors. With him, he carried guns, knives, tire irons, and rage.

So, lock your doors, my spooky friends. Today, you will hear the story of a serial killer who created a panic that was like nothing police had ever seen before. But before we get started, I want to give you all a heads up. Today, we will be talking about child abuse, animal abuse, sexual assault, graphic murders, extreme violence, and satanic symbolism. Listener discretion is advised

When I was young, I rode a bus to school that was driven by one of my Aunts. I would often fall asleep on my way home. Since my Aunt was used to seeing me, she would forget to drop me off. When she realized her error, she would have a teenager who lived several stops after mine call my parents to let them know I was ok.

But imagine for a moment that the bus never dropped me off. Imagine how a parent would feel if their child’s school bus never brought them home. What if all the children, the bus driver, and the bus itself never arrived at their destination?

So, buckle your seatbelt, my spooky friends. Today, you will hear the story of children who were being driven home from school and became part of the largest mass abduction in U.S. history
