Victor Vazquez, 68, and Hank Eisses, 49, were shot dead from single gunshot wounds to the head. The killer, Michael Anthony Mullen, got the victims' names, addresses, and photographs from the Whatcom County Sheriff's sex offender notification website.Join me for this special on-location podcast episode from Bellingham, WA.
