Death Summary: Richard Trenton Chase was captured by police after leaving several hand and shoe prints in blood at his last victims residence. They found even more blood caked evidence in his apartment.
In 1979 Chase stood trial on six counts of murder, his attorneys tried to avoid the death penalty by going the insanity route… the plea was rejected. On May 8th, the jury found Chase guilty on all six counts and he was sentenced to the gas chamber.
While in prison, Chase had been seeing a doctor who had prescribed him with antidepressants that he hoarded for weeks. He was found dead on December 26, 1980 of an apparent overdose-suicide, taking all the pills he had been saving.
Who was Richard Chase : Chase was a serial killer who killed six people in California over the span of one month. He was given the nickname “The Vampire of Sacramento” because he would cannibalize and drink the blood of his victims.
Early in his life he moved out of his mothers’ house, he thought she was trying to poison him. He rented an apartment with some friends, and soon became a huge burden. Chase boarded up his bedroom and created an escape hatch in his closet. He would walk around nude constantly. His roommates soon moved out.
Now on his own, Chase began to capture and kill small animals. He would eat them raw, sometimes mixing parts in a blender with Coca-Cola and drinking it like a milkshake.
Chase was involuntarily committed to mental health facility after he’d been taken to the hospital for blood poisoning. He had contracted this after he had injected rabbit’s blood into his veins. While in the facility he had begun to catch birds and drink their blood, this led to the staff giving him the nickname of “Dracula” (which was a character created by Bram Stoker based on Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Báthory.
About a year later Chase was released, according to the facility “he was no longer a danger to society”.
Two years after being released Chase begun his killings. They spanned from December 29, 1977 to January 23, 1978.
Without going into grave detail, lets just say they involved more blood drinking, cannibalism, necrophilia, etc. If you wish to read in depth about the heinous crimes go here.
