Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
In the summer of 1985, a nine-year-old boy growing up in Canoga Park in the San Fernando Valley has no idea his idyllic suburban childhood — Cabbage Patch Kids, Dodger games, backyard pools — is about to collide with the murder spree of the Night Stalker. As the Los Angeles Times connects a string of random home-invasion killings across the region, a boy home alone with a babysitter catches a news broadcast that changes everything: a police sketch, a name — the Valley Intruder — and the sudden, sickening realization that the killer's hunting ground might be his own. Episode one sets the scene for this true crime memoir podcast, blending 1985 nostalgia with the first tremors of a citywide panic.
