Thursday, November 21, at 7 PM, Ocean Beach Historical Society Presents “When Death Was a Hitchhiker: El Cajon’s Mass Murder” by Author Richard Carrico, at Waters Edge Community Center, 1984 Sunset Cliffs Blvd., O.B.
In 1958, an El Cajon man picked up a sixteen-year-old runaway off of old Highway 80 near Alpine. The young man lived with the Pendergast family for several weeks. Two weeks before Christmas, the troubled young man killed Lois Pendergast and her four children.
Come along with local historian and true crime author Richard Carrico as he takes us back to the event that was then described as the “largest mass murder in San Diego history.”
Richard will also have copies of his last true crime book, Monsters on the Loose, available for sale at a pre-holiday OB special rate. Please join us.
All OBHS Programs are FREE!
