The San Francisco Witch Killers: Suzan and Michael Bear’s Twisted Holy War
from Hitched 2 Homicide · host Kris Calvert and Rob Pottorf
In this disturbing episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we uncover the bizarre and brutal case of Suzan and Michael Bear—known to the media as The San Francisco Witch Killers. What began as a psychedelic love story quickly unraveled into a delusional crusade against so-called “witches.” From the murder of aspiring actress Keryn Barnes in San Francisco to the shocking roadside stabbing of Jon Charles Hellyar, the Bears believed they were soldiers in a holy war—and that murder was their divine mission. Fueled by drugs, religious fanaticism, and paranoia, this couple left a trail of bodies up the California coast. Join us as we break down their crimes, their cult-like beliefs, and the chilling jailhouse confession that left reporters speechless. sources used for this podcast Support the show JOIN THE HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWS START KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREE H2H WEBSITE H2H on TWITTER H2H on INSTA Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
