In the 1970’s and 80’s, over one hundred families in California had their homes ransacked by the same man. Many of them woke up in the middle of the night to a flashlight blinding their eyes.

Within a matter of hours, he ruined and ended lives, slipping small mementos in his pocket as he ran into the darkness.
