The Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders

In California, in the 1970s, a large number of women and girls were murdered while hitchhiking. The authorities struggled to solve the murders or even determine whether or not they were a series of murders committed by one or more serial killers. California experienced a large number of serial killers who operated in the 1970s in the same area which made the job for authorities even more difficult.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Santa Rosa hitchhiker murders. Hitchhiking was popular back the 1970s and as we look back 40 years later we know how dangerous it is. Many people have lost their lives after accepting a ride from a stranger. This series of murders in Santa Rosa highlights that fact. But, so many questions remain. Were these murders all connected and, if so, were they committed by one or more perpetrators?
