SEPTEMBER 27: Author Richard Carrico
Friday, September 27, 2-3 pm, in the Winer Family Community Room & Art gallery of the SCBL, hear author Richard Carrico tell the true story of three unsolved murders in prohibition era San Diego. Carrico wrote about these crimes in his book, Monsters on the Loose.
“In 1931, San Diego’s idyllic image as a beach town with peaceful suburbs concealed a harrowing reality: a series of unsolved crimes targeting women, fueling fear and vulnerability.
MONSTERS ON THE LOOSE tells the tragic and true stories of three women murdered early that year: Virginia Brooks, Louise Teuber, and Hazel Bradshaw. Local law enforcement, out-of-town criminologists, and investigators from what would become the FBI pursued hundreds of leads. Statewide, newspapers covered every angle and clue and sometimes played a role in the investigations. Yet, the killer(s) were never identified and brought to justice. In MONSTERS ON THE LOOSE, award-winning author and historian Richard L. Carrico pieces fragments of evidence together for three cold cases, shedding light on a dark chapter in San Diego’s history.”
