In January 1978, Richard Chase killed six people and drank their blood. This is the story.
Richard Chase, infamously known as the “Vampire of Sacramento,” terrorized the city with his heinous acts that sent shockwaves throughout the community.
Born on May 23, 1950, Chase’s disturbed mind and violent tendencies would eventually lead him down a path of unspeakable horror. As the investigation unfolded, authorities would uncover a chilling sequence of events that would forever etch the name Richard Chase into the annals of true crime history.
Chase’s descent into darkness began long before his reign of terror in Sacramento. As a child, he exhibited disturbing behavior, such as torturing animals and displaying an unhealthy fascination with blood.
These early warning signs of a troubled mind would later escalate into a full-blown obsession with vampirism, driving him to commit acts that shocked even the most seasoned investigators. The city of Sacramento would never be the same after the nightmarish events that unfolded at the hands of the man dubbed the “Vampire of Sacramento.”
