Everyone still talks about it.

I went to a gas station where one of the victims was picked up because she had had a flat tire.

I went to a wooded area where Sean Great would build tree houses and hide out there and then dump the body next to a tree.

I went to an area 10 miles outside of Ashland where he had killed a woman and then dragged her body to a creek and didn't even bury her.

He just covered her with some branches and left her there.

And then, of course, I went to those vacant lots.

where two of the women's bodies were found, one of them in the closet and one under a pile of trash.

This is the house that has since been torn down.

Exactly.

And where one of the victims, the LaJane Doe, was held until she was able to call 911.

Detective Kim Major has written a book about it all called A Hunger to Kill, which is when Sean Great said to her that he just felt this hunger to kill.

The book, she says, is to remind everyone that this could happen anywhere and it could have happened to any one of us.

She said it could have even happened to me.

Oh yeah, they're amazing.

Before we get into the recent news, I just want to revisit some important details here, because I grew up in Southern California, Matt. Like, I grew up on the OJ trial, the Tupac killing, and yet this still remains one of the most infamous double murders of its day. So Lyle and Eric Menendez, 18 and 21, gunned down and killed their parents, Jose Menendez and Kitty Menendez in Beverly Hills.
