Hey, California Dreaming listeners. My name is Keith Sharon. When I'm not listening to

Roseanne Sinclair, spin amazing true crime tales, I'm the host of a podcast called Crime Beat, which is produced by the Southern California News Group.

We produce a deep dive narrative podcast about fascinating cases in Southern California. Crime Beat season one was called

stealing Nixon's millions and it was about the biggest bank heist in the history of

the United States. That story was the inspiration for the 2019 movie Finding Steve McQueen with Forrest Whitaker,

Travis Fimmel, Rachel Taylor, and William Fickner.

Season 2 was called Mom versus Murderer. It focused on the murder of Kathy Torres, the Cal State Fullerton

student who was found stabbed 74 times in the trunk of her own car.

Please subscribe on Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.

We're currently working on an incredible case for season 3,

coming soon.

Hello Dreamers and welcome back.

First I have a couple of people to thank before I get into the addendum for this week's episode.

I'd like to thank Keith Sharon for taking the time to meet with me to talk about Ron Perkar's case.

He is the subject of episode 132 entitled

The Tale of the Marine in the Lake.

Keith told me some very surprising and eye-opening things that

shined a lot of light on this story and honestly put many of the questions that

we may have had about it to bed.

I'd also like to thank Diane Garrett, Ron's sister,

for coming into the group and answering

some of the questions that we had.
