Richard Chase: The Sacramento Vampire
Manage episode 397733011 series 3062409
From an early age, it was pretty clear that Richard Chase wasn’t a normal kid. By the time he was 5, he had an obsession with killing animals and drinking their blood. His heavy drug and alcohol use combined with his numerous mental health issues caused him to develop hypochondria. While hospitalized, Chase frequently complained of his heart occasionally stopping or someone having stolen his pulmonary artery. In 1977, after a stay in the mental hospital, he was found naked in a field with his body smeared in cow’s blood. Even after this bizarre incident, Richard’s blood thirst became unquenchable.
