Juan Corona: The Machete Murderer

Juan Corona: The Machete Murderer

The date was May 19, 1971. A Japanese peach farmer was perusing his orchard, located in Yuba City, California. Suddenly, he spotted something unusual. A large seven-foot-long hole, that was approximately half a foot deep, which looked like an improvised dug-out gravesite. His was private property, no one was supposed to be digging on his land. Without any witnesses to report the purpose of this large hole, he decided to return the following day to see if it was still there. When he returned to the orchard the next afternoon, this large hole had been filled in. Someone had returned and it appeared as if something had been buried - so the peach farmer called the authorities to investigate. What the police would uncover would spark an investigation into the worst-known serial killer in the U.S. at the time - but few know his name today: Juan Corona.
