A Voice in the Dark: The Ohta Family Murders

You’re supposed to be safe at home. Why wouldn’t you be? And that
sense of comfort must be even greater if “home” is a beautiful
house you built yourself, where you live happily with your family
in a town where you’re successful and respected. You’d have no
reason at all to think that someone was watching you with
binoculars through the trees, their heart burning ever hotter with
rage, ever closer to exploding with murderous fury. Join us for a
story of madness and grandiose delusion, a case that rocked 1970s
California almost as much as the Manson Family murders
did.
