CHILD WARNING EFFORTPOST The Vampire Of Sacramento

Richard Chase

>Earlier Life:

Richard Chase was born on May 23, 1950 in Sacramento, California. At the age of 5, Chase was already showing all three signs of the Macdonald triad, a theory by John Marshall Macdonald, a forensic psychiatrist. This indicates that Richard Chase's development is not going in the right direction and that he will later have problems related to his temperament.

The Macdonald Triad requires these 3 important behavioral abnormalities to be proven:

1. Arson or setting fires is considered a less serious or first attempt to release aggression.

2. Abusing animals or even killing them.

3. Enuresis is “unintentional bedwetting during sleep that continues after the age of five.” Bedwetting must occur twice a week for at least three months.

In his youth he was heavily addicted to drugs, and his psyche was also affected. Then later, in early adulthood, hypochondria developed. Chase said that sometimes his heart would stop beating or that someone had taken out the artery in his lungs. He also puts an orange on his head so that vitamin C is absorbed into his body. Chase also believed that his skull was broken and shaved his head to check.

1973 was Richard Chase's first short stay in a psychiatric hospital, until he was admitted again in 1976, this time involuntarily. He was found to have been injected with rabbit blood. After he broke the necks of two birds he had caught through his window in the mental hospital, the staff gave him the name "Dracula."

Richard Chase was then diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and was treated with various medications. Later in 1976, he was released into the care of his mother and was deemed safe. However, Chase took his mother off his medication and obtained it from an apartment he initially shared with someone until he was later left alone.

Richard Chase was arrested in 1977 when he was stopped on a reservation covered in blood. A bucket of cow's blood was also found in his truck. No charges were filed.

>Victims

Ambrose Griffin:

On December 29, 1977, Ambrose Griffin and his wife had just returned home from shopping and were unloading the groceries from the trunk when Ambrose suddenly collapsed. His wife thought he was having a heart attack and quickly called an ambulance for help.

But then they found out that Ambrose had been shot. Ambrose's wife then remembered that he had yelled at someone before the loud bang. She hadn't thought anything of it at the time.

One of the Griffins' sons testified that he had seen a man with a gun walking around their neighborhood and the police tracked him down. Unfortunately, it was not Chase, but another man with a different caliber of gun. Two empty cartridge cases from the murder weapon, a .22, were found on the sidewalk in front of the Griffins' house the next day.

A neighbor's boy later testified that he had seen a brown-haired man shooting at him from a brown Pontiac as the boy was riding his bike. Under hypnosis, the boy even remembered the license plate number, which came to nothing.

Also a woman from the neighborhood reported that her house had been shot at and the police found the cartridge cases there too. 22.

2 weeks later:

Richard Chase was caught breaking into a stranger's house. The couple, who had just come home, successfully chased him away. Chase stole a few things, urinated and defecated on her child's bed and clothes.

Teresa Wallin:

On January 23, 1978, Teresa Wallin was three months pregnant when Richard Chase broke into her house and killed her with several shots. He then had sex with her corpse, stabbing her several times with a knife.

When he was finished, he removed some organs, cut off one of her nipples and drank her blood. Before he left, Richard Chase got dog feces from Teresa Wallin's yard and shoved it down her throat.

Evelyn Miroth, Danny Meredith, Jason Miroth & David Ferreira:

On January 27th, 4 days after his murder of Teresa Wallin, he broke into Evelyn Miroth's house. At that time, Evelyn Miroth, her boyfriend Danny Meredith, Evelyn's 6-year-old son Jason and her almost 2-year-old nephew David Ferreira were in the house.

First Richard Chase encountered Danny and shot him. Then Evelyn Miroth, her son Jason and then David. As Chase was mutilating Evelyn Miroth, committing necrophilic and cannibalistic acts, a visitor knocked on the front door.

Chase fled in Evelyn Miroth's car and took the body of her nephew David Ferreira with him.

The visitor immediately called the police and they found complete hand and shoe prints. This made it easy to find Richard Chase.

The police found Chase's apartment in a horrific state. Everything was soaked in blood: walls, floor, ceiling, refrigerator and even the dishes.

>Trial and Death:

In 1979, Richard Chase was charged with six counts of murder. Since his defense wanted to avoid the death penalty, they tried to find Chase guilty of premeditated murder, because he showed clear signs of mental illness.

However, this did not help at all, and so on May 8, 1979, Chase was found guilty of all counts and sentenced to death in the gas chamber. The court rejected the argument based on his mental health.

Richard Chase's fellow inmates were afraid of him because they had all heard about his gruesome murders and therefore often tried to persuade Chase to commit suicide.

Robert Ressler often visited Richard Chase in prison. He gave Ressler many interviews about his fear of Nazis and UFOs, and Chase also claimed that he was forced to commit the murders in order to stay alive. Richard Chase wanted Robert Ressler to help him get a radar gun so that the Nazi UFOs could be convicted of the murders in court.

On December 26, 1980, Richard Chase was found dead in his prison cell. A later autopsy revealed that he had overdosed on various medications he had been prescribed.
