We advise extreme caution for children under 13.

Wienville, Southern California,

named for its plentiful vineyards,

Weinville was once nothing but open space and clear blue sky. Mountains

towered in the distance over the scattered farms, ranches, and fields of growing vines.

A beautiful view on a clear day.

It was a quiet place, where the nearest neighbor was often acres away.

But in the late 1920s, underneath its veneer of natural beauty, Weinville was hiding something horrible.

From 1926 to 1928, Gordon Stewart Northcott turned his small Wineville chicken ranch into a torture chamber and final resting place for at least three young boys and harmed countless others.

Stewart's reign of terror made Weinville so notorious.

The city eventually changed its name to Miraloma, meaning view from the hills.

At a glance, one would never suspect that buried beneath those hills lie the bones of

children still screaming for justice.
