This is so surprising. I know this area well. It is a small bedroom community, mostly full of cabins for winter sports and summer golf and hiking etc. It is near Bear Valley.

It is such a small little town.
 
This is the same area those two crazy meth freak killers placed their victims in various wells. Does anyone remember their names? One is on Death Row.
 
Dispatchers said the call came in to the Sheriff’s Office about noon.

One of the law enforcement officers told her there was a robbery down the street, that a 12-year-old boy who lived there chased the robber off, and when he returned to the house, he found his 9-year-old sister stabbed. The girl was fatally injured, but details were not available at 8 p.m. Saturday about whether she died at the scene or was taken to a hospital.

I don't get this. How does a 12 yr old boy ' chase a robber off?' The intruder is described as a grown man who is armed and dangerous. How did a 12 yr old chase him away?

The "Speed Freak Killers". My close friend lives in Valley Springs, and she happened to be at the hospital today when they brought the little girl in. She knows the road the home is located on well, and it is very strange that this happened there.

EXACTLY. I have a feeling that we will eventually find out that there is much more to this story than we are now hearing.
 
Loren Herzog & Wesley Shermantine.....

October 16, 1985

On October 16, 1985, Chevy told her friends that she was skipping school to spend the day in the mountains in Valley Springs, California with a male friend. The last anyone saw of her was when she was getting into a red pickup truck at school.

Chevelle "Chevy" Wheeler was 16 years old when she went missing outside of the Franklin High School in Stockton, California in 1985. Stockton investigators believe that she was likely among one of the first victims of serial killers Wesley Shermantine Jr. and Leron Herzog, later known as the "Speed Freak Killers".

How scary!

Not much information...

Where are/were the parents?

Were the kids at home by themselves when the intruder came in?

Was the victim a target... or was this a random act of violence?

So many questions...
 
Wow.....did you read the comments under the article? Scary........
