Fresno's corruption looks insane. I remember when ScareTheater made a video about cops harassing John Lang, and then a month or so later hastily recanted everything in a way that screams police threatened him.

Caveat emptor applies to everything east of Interstate 5 in California.

Call me naive but do they at least have the courtesy of honoring the concept of self defense?

You’re on your own in that part of the state. The Mohave desert is nothing like the deep blue coastal cities. California is a huge state and very different culturally in several parts.

I thought more about the Pitzer case and it’s just weird. I understand wanting to leave after narcing on a guy in Arkansas but the link provided said she didn’t meet the guy’s wife until after Pitzer informed against him? Then there were other guys that went with her over to Newberry Springs? Then why fucking Newberry Springs of all places? It seems like with some of these true crime cases, the most interesting parts get left out or just barely mentioned.

Tell me about it. I moved from the Bay Area to a rural part of the state two years ago, and am still experiencing culture shock. Poverty, drug abuse, and crime as bad as you'd see in any urban core, without the well-funded law enforcement of the coastal regions.

Basically, California is four states:

1) The coastal counties from the Mexican border to Sonoma County, along with Sacramento. That's the "California" of the media and popular imagination;
2) The Mojave and Anza-Borrego deserts, which are basically West Arizona;
3) The Sierra Nevada, Sacramento/Central Valleys, and Northeast -- essentially Idaho with more Mexicans; and
4) The Northwestern coast/mountain area (the "Emerald Triangle" and surroundings), which almost became its own "State of Jefferson" way back when, and is like a southern extension of the Pacific Northwest.

I used to live in that area of the Mojave, and I just wanted to agree with you that it is a weird fucking area. Have you ever read about California City? They thought it would be the next huge resort town but it ended up being less than half-developed. The roads were all completed, but then they ran out of money. So now it's the huge area with a few scattered homes in the center and then all these roads and about 5 cops total. I am an innocent idiot and maybe other people wouldn't find it as shocking as I did, but there were just people living in trailers on the outskirts making meth that everyone knew about, and they knew to never get near them because you would end up dead. Then, towards the northern end of Cal City, there is this compound owned by a South Korean cult, completely walled off, it's so out of place. And there is no cell phone reception throughout a lot of that area, you are fucked if you break down out there.

Outside of the city, just off in the desert, there is this clump of nice homes, 3 of them. An older couple was living in one that ended up murdered, and the people who killed them lived in the house for a while, a few months at least, before anyone realized the couple was missing. I don't know that the murderers were ever caught, but I remember the theory being that they were part of the caravan that drove past that clump of houses every year and stole their water for their RVs.
 
I have this theory about the southern part of California just about everything east if Los Angeles and East of San Diego. People grow up in LA and for whatever reason the move out to the Inland empire. My understanding is there used to be a ton of cops/firemen that worked in LA and did not want to see they guy they tossed in the back of the cruiser last week at the grocery store off duty buying groceries. So they started living in places like Rancho Cucamaonga. Nice small area of the IE more affordable than LA. The problem was people with warrants for serious crimes and section 8 housing starting moving to the IE which outside of Places like Rancho were already not great. Lot of Tweakers, shut ins and etc, After the huge wave of section 8 LA county to Riverside county and people from LA running from aggravated assault warrants the IE became even more sketchy.

IMHO, inside the major cities east of the coast it's not pretty. Fresno/Bakersfield/Riverside and mostly the places between that don't really have names. There's a long drive to Vegas from LA and shit gets fucking weird the minute you pull off the highway at night in some random place in the southwestern US. UFO's to sexpests to people hiding out from Murder warrants. I can recall stopping at a gas station like 11 pm probably between Vegas and Los Angles. Nothing there but a gas station an attendant and his car and see what appeared to be homeless vagrants, probably tweekers awake hanging around in the shadows, Keep in mind besides the gas station, the man running it and what I assume to be his car there was nothing for 50 miles any direction.

I often think about the concept of you're driving at night and have a 100 mile stretch between anything over the last 5 minutes your watching a car closing the gap from behind. If you are a car guy you know it's not a model used by highway patrol by the headlights alone. What happens when they pass they somehow swerve and tap your car? You pull over like you were in a city try to exchange insurance info? What if they are fucking nuts? A literal Genuine serial killer? Now unless highway patrol is hiding 1/4 mile down the road you are out there with a complete stranger. Did they see a jackrabbit? Spill their drink? What made them swerve into you? Was it motivation or just bad luck?

I have always wondered about this scenario and similar. How many unsolved murders started just like that. Especially in the days prior to cellphones and vehicles having GPS pinging live signal to the manufacturers now and then?
 
I used to call Highway 99 the Highway of Despair because everything along that corridor was a shithole with no future. I used to be out in that area a lot more often for work. The stretch of Lancaster/Palmdale to Bakersfield to Fresno to Modesto is bleak. Everything east of there is the Wild West. I’m sure there’s a lot of creepy unsolved mysteries that goes on there. I have more stories but due to opsec reasons I won’t share. I’d avoid that area if you can help it.

Back when I was out in that area often for work I checked out the various curiosities of that part of California. I used to work further along the border south of Interstate 8. You’d stop at these towns and you did what you had to do and get the hell out of there. Otherwise various beaners would start to emerge. If you stayed too long there’d be various “Samaritans” who would pull up and ask you if you need directions which was code for “get the fuck out of here now.” I got lucky.

Because it's very easy to kill someone and get rid of the body there. It's literally the middle of nowhere.

Watch Huell Howser's video on his visit to Newberry Springs. There is nothing there.

Proof that everyone who lives there is desperate to escape that shithole.

Mr. Cheese and a couple of his buddies were doing a group ride in that part of California a few years back, and stopped at a similar gas station. A couple of tweakers came up and wanted to "borrow their phones", and got rather aggressive when told no. He ended up flashing his 9mm at them to get them to leave. He doesn't like doing that, but didn't want to shoot the dirtbags unless it was absolutely necessary. He has no desire to return to that part of the state.

Central California, from the spots I visited, were the most normal parts of California I've seen. Same with Orange County.

You know all the portrayals in GTA V when it gets to the desert part? It's all legit. I do have one personal story.

Many years ago, my husband took a bus to San Bernardino. (Desert) As soon as he arrived, he was followed by some drug addicts who he heard, and they were planning to rob him. He pulled a box cutter on them as a weapon to make them run off, which they did.

Never go to San Bernardino.
 
How about Carmel? One of the star trek actresses lives there (she was the beauty in Plato Stepchildren). She has Parkinson’s sadly. She has a ton of TV and theater under her belt though.

It's a great movie.

Here's something that always creeped me out:
Dog Suicide Bridge

I've been there, had no particular urge to jump. Then again, I'm not a dog.

Is there some kind of noise that only they hear that makes them run to their deaths? I can't think of any other reason.


As for the Pitzer thing, none of it makes sense and I can't figure out what happened to her. I don't think her Bipolar had anything to do with her disappearance.

She's well off which automatically tells me she'd live in a nice spot and not some shithole place with junkies and crime, lol.

I once went to a desert area with my husband for his work, and we ended up driving around. Some woman with kids was sitting outside some crappy motel because she apparently got kicked out, and when we asked her for directions, she asked to use my husband's phone.

She already seemed kind of sketchy and the desert is already filled with sketchy people, so he lied and said he didn't have a phone.

I've made that mistake before and I had losers calling my phone the very next day.

There's a dog suicide bridge in Scotland too

It's the same bridge lol. From what I've heard, the investigators concluded that there are weasels and other large rodents in the area which dogs can easily sniff and start following. Since they can't see over the side of the bridge they just jump over it to their demise.
