Yeah.
You have been. I feel like it's already beneficial. So let's get into it. So the Zodiac killing started with the Lake Herman Road murders where 17-year-old David Faraday and his girlfriend, 16-year-old Betty Lou Jensen, were killed. Betty Lou? I know, Betty Lou. What an adorable name. 16 and 17 years old. My God, literal babies. And they were your typical American teenagers in the fall of 1968.
Yeah. David was one of Vallejo High School's star wrestlers. He was a popular student. He was an Eagle Scout, not a Cub. That year, he had actually been awarded the Scout's God and Country Award, which is like a pretty high honor. Whoa. Similarly, Betty was said to be a popular and responsible student at Hogan High School, where she was in her junior year.
so young junior in high school yeah they were both active and after school activities they both participated a lot in community events like they were just like very all-american teenagers in fact it was one of those community events actually decorate the decorating committee for a winter dance that was being put on by the city that brought the two of them together in mid-december
And within a week of meeting, they had fallen for each other hard. And they started rearranging their schedules so they could spend more time together outside of school. Just young love. Oh, I love it. Now, Betty's parents had always forbidden her from dating. They really wanted her to focus on school instead. But that December, she did manage to convince them to let her go out with David.
And she and David made plans for Friday, December 20th, which was going to be Betty's first ever date. So this was a big deal. And it's literally less than a week before Christmas. So when the day finally arrived, David picked Betty up from school. They spent a few hours together just kind of like hanging out before their official date that night. But David dropped her off at home around 6 p.m.
and then came back to pick her up a few hours later, a little bit after 8 p.m. Betty invited him inside. Of course, he had to go meet the parents. And the four of them chatted briefly for about 20 minutes. And then David and Betty left the house.
