Herbert Mullen: Killer to Stop Earthquakes

In the early 1970s, Santa Cruz, California became the hunting ground for one of the most disturbing killers in American history — Herbert Mullin. Mullin believed human sacrifice could prevent catastrophic earthquakes. Driven by paranoid schizophrenia and delusions of divine command, he murdered 13 people in just four months — including a priest, a college student, a family with two young children, four teenage campers, and a retired boxer. But what makes this case even more chilling? He wasn’t the only serial killer operating in Santa Cruz at the time. Edmund Kemper — the infamous Co-Ed Killer — was killing in the same area during the same period.
