Juan Corona - The Machete Murderer

In 1971, the discovery of a body in a California peach orchard led investigators to something far more disturbing: a mass grave containing the bodies of 25 migrant farmworkers. Juan Vallejo Corona, a local labor contractor, was eventually arrested and convicted of all 25 murders. But the case was filled with questions, controversy, and a lengthy legal battle. Join us as we take a look at the life of Juan Vallejo Corona, the victims, the investigation that uncovered the bodies, and the evidence that led to one of the largest murder convictions in American history.
