Summary
The 2010 Disappearance And Murders Of The McStay Family Committed By Charles 'Chase' Merritt [Part 2]
**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!! Skip ahead about a year! Also, KD is no longer a part of the Orbital Jigsaw Network or Blubrry**
How does a family of four suddenly go missing? In today’s episode of Killafornia Dreaming, which is the second of two parts, that’s exactly what seemingly happened to the McStay Family - Joseph, Summer, and their two sons 4 year old Gianni and 3 year old Joseph Jr - when they vanished from their California home in February of 2010. We discuss the flawed investigation and how law enforcement were misled for far too long, and how the Investigation Discovery show disappeared played a role in the wrong conclusions being jumped to.
UPDATE: On June 10, 2019, a San Bernardino County jury found Merritt guilty of murdering the McStay family. On June 24, the jury recommended that Merritt be sentenced to death. The court upheld the jury's recommendation, and Merritt was sentenced to death on January 21, 2020.
