Jinx, know exactly how you feel. I was 12 when The Hillside Strangler was dumping bodies in my town of La Crescenta. My Girl Scout Leader and all of our Mom's forbid us to NEVER go anywhere by ourselves, to the point of brainwashing and fear. All of the basic security measures were constantly being told. These are of course things that we should have been told. But it was scary. I'm 60 years old now and I still have an "overly cautious" attitude.
I didn't see your reply to my hillside strangler stuff til today. I am exceedingly stupid at keeping track of responses. Are you still in La Crescenta? I loved that area from my early years. I grew up in La Canada after coming back to the mainland from then Hawaii territory. Good God I'm old.
All tha business about Night Stalker and Hillside Strangler did teach me about distrust in the extreme.
I was raised in La Crescenta until I got married at 19. Married a man that also grew up there. We just returned to Montrose for our 43rd CVHS reunion. It was a blast to visit with our old pals.
I think we are both old if we remember the Hillside Strangler haha
We still love in SoCal but now we are in the mountains
