It was the summer of 1979. The last vestiges of the 1970s were set to expire and welcome in the rip and roar era of the 80s. This chapter takes place in Torrance, California, a coastal town where the air smells faintly of salt and sun-baked asphalt. The streets glow soft orange beneath the high pressure sodium streetlights.<br /><br />Sixteen-year-old Lucinda Lynn Schaefer walks those streets often, the kind of girl who never seems out of place anywhere. Her friends call her Cindy. Blonde hair, bright blue eyes, always with a book tucked under her arm or a quick smile ready to disarm a stranger.<br /><br />Support us on Patreon:<br /><a href="https://patreon.com/tapesfromthedarkside" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">patreon.com/tapesfromthedarkside</a><br /><br />Make a PayPal donation:<br /><a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=CQC9VPG9RZ9AW" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=CQC9VPG9RZ9AW</a><br /><br />Merch:<br /><a href="https://tapesfromthedarksidepod.dashery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://tapesfromthedarksidepod.dashery.com/</a><br /><br />Follow me:<br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedarksidepod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/thedarksidepod/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/tapesfromthedarkside/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/tapesfromthedarkside/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/tapesfromthedarkside" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/tapesfromthedarkside</a></li></ul><br /><br />Sources:<br /><a href="https://www.partnersintruecrime.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.partnersintruecrime.com/</a><br /><br /><br />Music Credit:<br /><ul><li>Augusta Treverorum - <a href="https://linktr.ee/trvrrm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/trvrrm</a></li><li>20Six Hundred - <a href="https://20sixhundred.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://20sixhundred.bandcamp.com/</a></li></ul><br />
