- The Valley Killer
In 2014, California's San Fernando Valley began experiencing a large number of vehicular shootings. At first, police believed these incidents to be isolated cases of road rage. But as more and more victims were discovered, it soon became clear that there may be a serial killer hunting in the area. And with the shootings seeming to be completely random, finding the gunman would prove to be a challenge. Join Olivia Cornu and John Conner as they dive deep into the dark to discuss the "Valley Killer," Alexander Hernandez. Will this case be enough to make you check the locks?
