    Soooooo many serial killers in California between the 70's and 90's. Just mind blowing.

      As the 424K views of this video demonstrates, we are culturally very aware of what goes into investigating murders. 2 in 5 murders today go unsolved. In 1965, it was 1 in 10. What that means is there's a lot going on that we just don't know about, and it's very likely that presently there are dozens of if not hundreds (some say as many as several thousand) active serial killers operating under the radar.

    My grandmother was Schizophrenic.
    The second they started describing him i recognized the symptoms immediately.
    And this behavior began in his late teens, exactly the time when it typically develops.
    Not everyone with paranoid Schizophrenia is a killer. My mother believes that her mother would have killed someone had she not been put into a hospital when she was.
    My grandmother was put into a state hospital when my mother was around the age of 10, when her husband felt he could no longer care for her and all 4 children. She spent the rest of her life in institutions where she couldn't hurt anyone.
    I'm sorry that he was not diagnosed before these tragedies happened.

    I went to SLVHS when Herb Mullin was a senior. My late older brother graduated with him and was good buds with victim Jim Gianera, (who was considered cute by all the girls, but was also seen as a “dangerous boy.) Herb was popular and voted “Most Likely to Succeed” because he had all the qualities other kids believe meet the criteria. Herb was not manifesting any of his mental health issues in his high school years. Herb was also tight with another boy on the football team named Dean Richards (maybe Richardson; it’s been a long, long time), and at the end of summer the year of their graduation, Dean, along with another boy who was driving, and Dean’s younger sister and her best friend, were in a horrific car accident. Dean’s sister was the only survivor. It was speculated at the time that the sudden death of his good friend Dean was something that triggered Herb’s mental illness issues. And, of course, someone with Herb’s predisposition for severe mental health illness should never be using drugs like LSD or pot. This was a tragedy all the way around. Herb should never be released from prison; he will always be delusional and a danger to society.

      About 1994 I was doing some intern work at the VA. I was working on my Masters in Psych Mental Health Nursing. I will never forget. I was able to attend a giant therapy group that consisted of black male veterans-about 50. I was able to read many of their medical records. Many had been in Vietnam and turned to drugs in order to cope. The next diagnosis was: schizophrenia.

      Sherlock Homes said the same thing
      (Watson) "Good heavens!" "Who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads?"
      (Holmes) "They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside."
      (Watson) "You horrify me!"
      (Holmes) "But the reason is very obvious. The pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish. There is no lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a drunkard's blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser."

      Dear 404: There were no serial killers as we know them before 1870, yet no one asks why they never existed before then. Moreover, True Crime stories and even the Legal System always look at serial killing being solely about the "evil individual". If serial killers started to appear at a certain time in history, then it's obvious to me that something happened in society then that somewhat caused serial killings to start.

Vast majority of people with this awful condition are actually quite anxious and scared. They often have high intelligence and, in my experience, a really great sense of humour which is dark and irreverent. The majority of the people i worked with in fact didn't even like going out. No doubt there are violent schizophrenics, but there are violent people who don't have schizophrenia. Or any identifiable mental health issues. I'm glad I had the chance to work with people who have this condition, it showed me just how skewed the reporting is in the media and how this mental health issue has become so entwined with the idea of violence.

    I had a friend I grew close with, we met at 18. We are 20 now. He used to be so happy and carefree, an absolute treat to be around. He is paranoid as hell in a way that scares me. Constantly thinking people are talking about him subconsciously, sending messages through simple facial expressions or random sounds, and when we would try to set up video games or tv and would see a “no signal” sign, he would believe it meant he had no connection to reality or the people around him. He became almost catonic and other times completely spuratic. I had to stop seeing him because he is twice my height and weight and could very easily hurt me. It’s so sad.

  • @AraClaire
    @AraClaire Год назад +6

    My first husband had schizoeffective disorder and the most misunderstood aspect is that the voices they are hearing are their own thoughts. The part of our brain that filters the insistent chatter of our thoughts and is able to tell the difference between our inner voice and the voices coming to us from people in the environment around is dysfunctional.
    So, when the detective said that Mullin got the address to his High School friend from the young mother...and after he killed his friend and his wife, he returned to the young mother's cabin "to get rid of witnesses"...even if the detective wasn't inferring that Mullin was "saine enough" to try and cover up his tracks...this is often the line of thinking in dismissing insanity and diminished responsibility defenses. My point here is, for people experiencing psychosis...the very small percentage that do end up becoming a danger to others, it is very possible that attempting to cover up the evidence of what they have done isn't a function of knowing right from wrong, but instead they could very well be following the guidance of a voice that they don't know is their own thoughts.
    People with a schizoid disorder would also have a very difficult time explaining why they thought to get rid of any evidence and would be more inclined to simply state, "I knew I needed to get rid of the evidence," failing to articulate how they knew they needed to.
    I've watched hundreds of police interrogations and very rarely does someone who committed a violent crime due to psychosis say, "the voices told me too." They mostly speak in terms of knowing someone was out to get them or like Mullin, believing he was on a mission from God.
    Anyway, I felt it was important for people to understand how a person who becomes violent after experiencing a psychotic episode can also make efforts to cover their tracks/get rid of evidence...not because they are completely aware that what they did is wrong, but because they were guided to do so...in the same way an obedient child told to clean his room doesn't sit back to contemplate the virtue of cleanliness and being responsible vs the consequences of not cleaning their room...they simply do as they are instructed, knowing it's what's expected of them.
    This does not excuse Mullin's crimes, justice requires accountability. I'm simply sharing some insight and maybe spark some contemplation from another perspective.

    I have severe ADHD and mild Bipolar II. I can say from personal experience that hypergraphia is something I may do when I'm under extreme stress or emotional turmoil. If I look back at those writings with a more stable mindset, I can feel the emotional distress by just looking at the haphazard and sometimes incoherent scrawlings on the pages. I even did this once through typing. I'm extremely adept in writing and accompanying subjects, so to look back at that document where it started off as a sane rant quickly devolved into a mess of caps, no punctuation or structure, and suppressed thoughts and emotions being vomited out, it looked like absolutely nothing I would write. But at the time of doing so I was recovering from a mentally abusive relationship, and that document remains as a small glimpse into a dark part of my mind when mistreatment of my conditions and stressful trauma have their grip. It's a scary and sort of distressing thing to see and even worse to feel.

    Very interesting reading the comments. One of the reasons I’ve always been interested in crime documentaries is to understand the psychology behind the perpetrator, that’s just something that’s always intrigued me. I don’t believe anyone is ‘born’ a murderer, can you imagine looking at those innocent newborn babies on a ward & going ‘Yep! S/he’s going to be a right serial killer when they grow up!’ - Er, no. The majority of serial killers are a direct product of their surroundings, sometimes upbringings. The whole ‘nature VS nurture’ debate, I suppose.
    It’s also really eye opening (& alarming) how ignorant people still are to mental health in the 21st century. I thought we were making head way with the stigma surrounding mental health, but any time I think that, I only just need to read the RUclips comments to realise we’ve got a hell of a long way to go yet.

      Bob 1 Amen to that Bob. I hold my hands up & openly admit to having this preconceived notion of what people with schizophrenia were ‘like’ when I was younger, it wasn’t until I had my own mental health breakdown & stayed a few times in my local low secure psych ward for stabilisation on meds that I made friends with others, & we all spoke of our diagnosis’ quite openly. I met 2 *amazing* young men in there who had schizophrenia diagnosis’ & I distinctly remember thinking for a good few nights after meeting them (those bloody nights when we were told to sleep & never could!) how stupid I felt for having those preconceived notions, trying to understand my own psyche on where they came from, how guilty I felt.. it really did bother me, & it still does all these years later (11 years).
      They were just like you, I & everyone else, & I did speak to them about it all. The beauty of psyche wards is everyone’s really open on them, we’re in the mindset that we have nothing to lose so we don’t give much of a shit about what we share, I’ve always said it’s like a different world in there. They aren’t well individuals when they’re off their medication or their meds don’t work, but they were right in saying no one is regardless of diagnosis. I never saw them as a danger, that wasn’t my pre conceived ideas of them, I just thought they’d be different.. very hard to explain. They were exactly how you described your father as being; fit, intelligent, healthy, they had amazing senses of humours.. their minds just didn’t work the way they wanted them to sometimes & it frustrated / upset them.
      My ex sister in laws mother has the condition too & that’s something I grew up learning, she revealed it a lot later to us as she was ashamed which I felt was sad. Despite her & my brother splitting she still sends birthday cards, Christmas cards, & frequent letters of updates.
      Anyway.. sorry, I’m rambling. My point being, my own struggles opened my eyes to a whole new world of suffering. The stigma associated with it, everything. Unless someone has had first hand experience with something like that they will just never understand no matter how hard you explain.
      I’m sorry you had to go through all of that Bob.. I’m sorry your father got put away like a wild animal rather than being helped. In that way I’m somewhat thankful times have changed, even though we’ve still got a long way to go. And you’re very right in saying that many who struggle with schizophrenia / psychosis & other MH conditions end up being victims, even to the people that are meant to help them the most 😞

      Adam Lolno I disagree that people are born like it, that’s a sentiment I’ve never agreed with & likely never will. I haven’t come across any articles or documentaries yet over the years that have had any professionals say that these individuals are born to murder, rape etc. Although I’m happy to stand corrected IG & when I do come across anything.
      By saying you’re a ‘product of your upbringing’ I always find it a bit frustrating when people throw the ‘but lots of people are born into poverty / abuse & don’t become .. or don’t do X,Y,Z’ - it’s the equivalent of saying everyone who breaks a leg, breaks it in the exact same place & heals in exactly the same time frame; one shoe doesn’t fit all. The mind even to this very day is being constantly examined & tested, it’s such a complex part of our bodies that even the most renowned scientists on this planet can’t fathom all of its capabilities. What may trigger one person, may never trigger another. It’s understood that the development of our brains during certain ages play a key role in these individuals becoming like they are; if they’re consistently abused, exposed to beastiality or incest, have head injuries (etc etc) during these times, it’s now shown it has a developmental affect.
      I should add it doesn’t EXCUSE what they’ve done, that’s certainly not what I’m saying.. I’m more interested in the why’s, because although you’re right in saying occasionally some people do become serial rapists / killers for the fuck of it.. that’s not often the case when you dig deeper into their childhoods & upbringing.

    I see some pretty freaky hallucinations and sometimes, people turn into them. I'm lucky that I can logic my way into knowing what's real, but seriously people need to start getting psychological help wayyyy *before* bad things happen. Like, after id been paranoid for years and asked my parents for help multiple times, I almost hurt someone the first time i had visual hallucinations just because i had no idea what was happening and was terrified.

      God bless! Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and died on a cross for our sins so we can live again in Heaven where there is no pain or suffering! God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus from the dead! Confess and repent of your sins and God will freely forgive you! Trust in God and live for Jesus as He died for you! 💕 (don’t swear or take God’s name in vain!)

    His parole was denied in March 2021. Next parole date is in 2028 when he is 81yrs. He is still blaming his family and upbringing for these killings. As long as he is breathing he should stay in prison. This guy was a very clever psychopath at 25yrs old. He knew exactly what he was doing and his murders were so random so they could not be linked.

    One has to be very cautious in the consideration of Mullin's schizophrenia (SZ) to avoid the equation SZ = homicidal behavior; it most certainly does not. Each case of SZ is very specific. There is no template to offer a series of causal relationships in behaviors of a person afflicted with SZ. It's a hazard to embrace this unfortunate equation, because it can often lead to demonizing the afflicted. I come from a family where SZ was frequent. None of them, although occasionally committed, were ever violent.

    I have anger issues, and I am huge, 6"4 but as people around me says very agile and nimble for my size. I am mentally stable, in fact I had been a straight A student. But this fear that I might hurt someone if and when they pisses me off had turned me into a recluse. After I successfully fought off this immense desire to toss in a grenade or two into a noisy neighbor's party, I decided to move away from people, even pets, for fear I might harm them. I now live alone, and don't want to share where. It's peaceful here.
