A lot of the murder cases we cover feature slow-boiling resentments, or criminal schemes hatched with an explicit target in mind. Killings by strangers are rare—and terrifying. You can just be going about your life with no idea that a predator is hunting you, a twisted mind that has no more connection to your life than a shark does. And then, out of the night, they strike. <br /><br />Join us for the chilling story of a would-be serial killer stopped after his first murder.<br /><br />Stick around after the outro for a funny blooper! <br /><br />Sources:<br />Cold Storage, Don Lasseter<br />LA Times: <a href="https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/tn-wknd-et-denise-huber-20160702-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/tn-wknd-et-denise-huber-20160702-story.html</a><br />Court papers: <a href="https://law.justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/2011/s064306/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://law.justia.com/cases/california/supreme-court/2011/s064306/</a><br />LA Times: <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-05-23-mn-61651-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-05-23-mn-61651-story.html</a><br /><br />Follow us, campers!<br />Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): <a href="https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire</a><br /><a href="https://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/</a><br />Facebook: True Crime Campfire<br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/truecrimecampfire/?hl=en</a><br />Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfire<br />Email: [email protected]<br />MERCH! <a href="https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support</a>.
