Maybe they're trying to distinguish between other California/Hollywood murders, with Hollywoodland (George Reeves's death) coming out.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think you can count the "depends on who you believe" ones. I guess it's what AmyLiz says.

AmyLiz is probably right.
Doesn't mean I didn't like the other game better. Depending on who you believe, Lindbergh baby?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was going to say that even "in California history" is overstating it, considering this is the state that gave us the Zodiac Killer. But I assumed they specified CA to avoid saying "in history," which would clearly be ludicrous.
Honestly, I think they're trying to make it sound important without making too many people go, "Um, so why I have never heard of it before if it's such a big deal?" It was a notorious case sixty years ago. Now?

Sorry! I didn't mean to be a bummer.

AmyLiz, you are never a bummer. Rather, I am sometimes as easily distracted by true crime as I am by shiny objects.

Boy, the Zodiac killer murdered more people than I thought. Huh. Why is there no movie about him? (Her? Or is there?)

Me, too! I read one of the books about Ted Bundy when I was only fourteen, and devoured the Fatal Vision, too.
Also, I ended copyediting a lot of true crime books a few years ago. Not too many huge cases, but some really interesting ones. The only negative was that they were almost uniformly poorly written -- we weren't publishing the hardcover, high-profile stuff.

The Black Dahlia case isn't known by most people, you think? Huh.
I don't know why I've never gotten into reading true crime, but I think fear of bad writing is part of it.
