Summary

Herbert Mullin's struggles with delusions made him an especially dangerous serial killer. Unable to overcome the voices in his head, he preyed on people all around Santa Cruz, California in the early 1970s. But because there was so much violent crime in the area, Herb's killing spree went undetected. And by the time anyone realized what was going on, thirteen people had lost their lives. Mind of a Serial Killer is a Crime House Original. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @crimehouse for more true crime content.
