AmyLiz is probably right.
Doesn't mean I didn't like the other game better. Depending on who you believe, Lindbergh baby?
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.

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.

My sister and I used to watch "Unsolved Mysteries" (aka "Untold Miseries" in our lexicon) and discuss when we could back in the olden days before watch and post. (Talk about uniformly poorly written.)

See, I've known about that for years, but that may just be my twisted interest in true crime.
