Richard Chase, also known as The Vampire of Sacramento, had a total of 6 victim count in a span of one month. His crimes included murder, necrophilia, cannibalism and mutilation. He is known as The Vampire of Sacramento because he drank the blood of his victims and ate their internal organs. He said that he had to consume his victims in order to prevent the Nazis from turning his blood into powder via poison.

Chase, by the age of 10, had already displayed signs of the possibility that he might grow to be a serial killer. These signs commonly includes the wetting of bed beyond the normal age, cruelty to animals and setting fires. These signs were possibly "enhanced" due to his strict upbringing and violent father. During his teenage years, he got involved with drugs and showed symptoms of delusional thinking. Even though he sought help from a psychiatrist, he was denied help as "his problems were a result of his severe mental disorders".

Despite having numerous girlfriends in high school, Chase did not maintain anything steady, partly due to his inability to achieve or maintain an erection. He was unable to become aroused in the presence of female. It was later determined that Chase had an aversion to conventional sex and could only achieve arousal and orgasm through disturbed acts, such as the killing of animals and necrophilia.

In 1975, he contracted blood poisoning after injecting rabbit's blood into his veins. He was then committed to a mental institution, which he eventually escaped. This escape did not last long as he was apprehended at his mother's place and was sent to an institution for the criminally insane. During his time there, he often talked about killing rabbits and was once found with blood smeared on his mouth - Hospital staffs found out that he had captured two birds, snapped their necks and sucked their blood out.

Upon release from the institution, he was living in his parent's home. He began to capture, torture and drank the blood of animals. His fascination with firearms grew, which led him to purchase several handguns, which he practiced obsessively. He also became obsessed with the crimes of the Hillside Strangler.

On August 3, 1977, police found his car lodged in a sand drift; inside were 2 rifles, a pile of clothes, a bucket full of blood and a cow's liver. He was naked and screaming while soaked in blood, claiming that his blood had leaked out of him. No charges were filed against him for this incident, as he managed to convince the police that it was animal's blood.

His first murder started on December 29, 1977, and ending on January 27, 1978. For all his victims, he would first shoot them with his firearms, before proceeding to stab them or to cut them open before performing necrophilia and cannibalism. He even made smoothies out of their organs - (Refer to the blender used in the attached photograph).

Chase's victims:
December 29, 1977:
Ambrose Griffin, 51 - Shot in the chest in a drive-by shooting
January 22, 1978:
Teresa Wallin, 22 (3 months pregnant) - Shot once in the hand, twice in the head, engaged in necrophilia, stabbed, organs removal, cutting of nipple, stuffing of dog feces down the throat, partially eaten

Five days after the last murder, Chase was finally apprehended. In his home, detectives found that his walls, floor, ceiling, refrigerator and his utensils were all soaked in blood. On his kitchen counter was the blender that he used to make his bloody smoothies - caked with blood and rotting matter of internal organs. In his refrigerator, they found multiple animal body parts, his victims' brains in a container, pieces of body of as well as internal organs.

On May 8, 1979, despite the defense asking for clemency, the judge sentenced Chase to death by the gas chamber because he was not legally insane. During his time in prison, he was feared by many inmates due to the notoriety of his crimes. However, before the death sentence could be carried out, Chase was found dead in his cell on December 26, 1980, from suicide with an overdose of antidepressants that he had saved up for weeks.

Fun Fact: After he was found guilty, he wrote a 10 page letter to Municipal Court Judge Carol Miller, asking for a second physical examination to detect if there are any signs of poisoning. He said that his mother had been poisoning him with soap and that he began the killing of animals and the drinking of their blood to cure himself.

The letter stated:
"As a young boy, I was slowly poisoned by my mother till I was 20. The poisoning caused construction of my inner metabolism, retarding my growth, making it impossible to lead a normal life. She poisoned me with doses of dish soap every day."

Well, I guess someone here took his dracula ~~*feelz*~~ a little too seriously.
