  • Summary

  • On Monday October 19, 1970 in the midst of the Manson family murder trials and with two serial killers on the loose, both the Zodiac and the Co-ed Killer, firefighters in Soquel, CA discover the bodies of five people in the swimming pool of a wealthy home in the Santa Cruz mountains. Through a note left at the scene a murderous cult took responsibility for the Ohta family murders. Join me as I tell John just what happened and who was responsible.
