| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing so well, I hope you've all had a good week so far and |
| 0:14.1 | welcome back to the Criminal Maker podcast. Each episode we dive into the minds of some of the |
| 0:18.8 | worst criminals in history and today we're going to be talking about Richard Chase, aka the vampire |
| 0:26.4 | of Sacramento and given that name, I think it's pretty clear that today is going to be a gory one. |
| 0:33.8 | So Richard Chase got the name, the vampire of Sacramento, for good reason. He was absolutely |
| 0:40.1 | obsessed with blood. He fully believed that in order to keep himself alive, he needed to drink |
| 0:46.5 | blood. And the things that he did in order to get this blood are just, oh my god, not good at all, |
| 0:53.5 | some of the things that Richard did during the time he was active are truly disturbing. And I |
| 0:59.9 | will say this, I can't look at bunny rabbits the same ever since this case. And unfortunately because |
| 1:06.5 | of this blood obsession, Richard Chase went on to become one of the most infamous spree killers |

| 1:37.3 | don't know what you're doing right now, but if you're eating probably best stop right now, |
| 1:42.8 | stop listening to this episode, especially if you are possibly drinking a smoothie, |
| 1:47.9 | this is your warning right now, please stop. Okay, so with all of that being said, |
| 1:53.0 | let's dive into Richard Chase, the vampire of Sacramento. |
| 2:02.2 | So Richard Chase was born on the 23rd of May, 1950, making him a Gemini. He was born and raised |
| 2:10.2 | in Sacramento, California. And this is where he is absolutely horrific crimes take place. |
| 2:16.9 | Obviously, because he's known as the vampire of Sacramento. And Richard was raised in quite a |
| 2:22.2 | strict household. And his father was pretty abusive. He would be Richard as a form of punishment. |
