The 1990 Murder Of UCLA Student Ronald Baker Perpetrated By His Own Roommates Duncan Martinez And Nathaniel Blalock
In June of 1990, the day after the longest day of the year, hikers discovered the lifeless body of 21 year old UCLA student Ron Baker. He was laying just inside south opening of the Santa Susana Tunnel which had also become known as the Manson Tunnel because of the close proximity Charles Manson and his family lived to it from 1968-1969. Because Ron was killed in the Manson Tunnel, on the longest day of the year, and his throat being slit as well as his new found interest in Wicca, rumors of this being a ritualistic Satanic killing dominated the headlines. After all, Los Angeles was just a few years removed from the Satanic Panic-fueled McMartin Preschool Abuse and Satan-worshiping serial killer Richard Ramirez cases. But, it would turn out to be a killing much closer to home, but not any less dark or evil.

0:00.0 | Hello Dreamers and welcome to today's episode. |
0:05.6 | Before we get started I wanted to thank you all for being so cool and understanding about |
0:10.5 | the erratic release schedule of these allegedly weekly episodes. |
0:16.4 | I did finish a major part of the project that I'm working on for the My Dark Path podcast |
0:21.8 | so I've set aside some time this week to throw together this story for you. |

1:29.5 | So I kind of wanted to tell you listening that in all this spare time that I really shouldn't |

1:43.4 | I've tried to pick ones that involve suspects who sound familiar to me just by their name. |
1:50.2 | Like I may have heard their case before or heard it on a podcast and seriously of the |
