TCC #19 The Speed Freak Killers

This week, we're diving into a serial killer duo who were rightfully dubbed The Speed Freak Killers. These to drugged out losers assaulted and killed as many as 70 men and women in California's Central Valley betwen the years of 1984 and 1998, before the Sheriff in the area finally decided to put a stop to their reign of terror. These two men, Loren Herzog and Wesley Shermantine, were both from upper middle class families, and seemed to have it all. Behind closed doors, though, things were very different, and the traumas suffered by children can often manifest in very bad ways as they grow up. This is a perfect example of that scenario playing out to the worst possible conclusion - over and over again. Sources:https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/remains-positively-identified-as-speed-freak-killer-victim-chevy-wheeler/ https://www.kcra.com/article/shermantine-victim-others-would-be-alive-had-jury-listened/6395483 https://www.lodinews.com/news/article_56f86df2-18fc-11e4-abe0-10604b9f0f42.htmlJoin us on instagram: True Crime CaliforniaEmail case suggestions to: truecrimecaliforniapod@gmail.comA proud member of the Darkcast Networki
