The Santa Rosa Killer Case

Hitchhiker Murders

Northern California.

An empty road.

A car slows down next to a girl hitchhiking.

She gets in.

And no one will ever see her alive again.

A real mystery. A possible truth. A story that will haunt you.

In the early 1970s, Northern California symbolized freedom: open roads, thumb-outs, spontaneous trips between San Francisco and the rolling hills of Sonoma County.

Then something changed.

Between 1972 and 1974, young women began disappearing along the roads of Santa Rosa.

Many were hitchhiking.

None ever came home.

This short narrative begins with a real, unsolved criminal case and imagines what no one could ever prove.

It’s not an essay.

It’s not an investigation.

It’s a possible truth told as a story.
