The Earthquake Stopper | Herbert Mullin

(Yes I know he doesn't have a cool moniker but any time that happens we'll make our own... probably will change it.) Once again, Sam and A.J. take a look over to Californian killers with Herbert Mullin, who killed 13 people in the early 1970s to 'prevent earthquakes'. I mean not the worst delusion we've heard so far. Almost informative and criminally silly, we can guarantee it's under 15 minutes or less, or your podcast is free!Herbert Mullin, a paranoid schizophrenic, believed that sacrificing people would prevent earthquakes. He killed 13 people in California during the early 1970s. Mullin's delusions began in his teens and escalated after the death of a friend. He was released from hospitals multiple times due to not being a danger to himself or others when off medication. Mullin's killing spree lasted four months before he was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. He died in 2022. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
