Written By Alienist Entertainment

This week, we recount a 1950's case of a serial home invasion robber. We lay some groundwork for life & crime in LA in the 50's before discussing the crime spree by the man wearing a green scarf over his face. We also touch on the psychological impacts of home invasion robberies on victims.
