This case takes place in Napa, California, in the early morning hours of November 1, 2004, when a young woman was woken around 2AM by the sound of breaking glass and a blood-curdling, terrified scream. When she heard whoever was in the house exit, she went to investigate, and found both of her roommates lying in a pool of blood. Who did this, and why? The answer to both of these questions is shocking.Sources:1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napa,_California2) https://loriajohnston.medium.com/the-2004-napa-halloween-murders-37c8d97e3d4b3) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nightmare-in-napa-19-04-2007/4) https://www.newsnationnow.com/banfield/parallels-in-idaho-stabbings-2004-napa-murders/#:~:text=It%20was%20Halloween%20night%20in,killer%20creep%20up%20the%20stairs.5) https://www.swordandscale.com/jealous-rage-to-double-murder-in-napa-valley/6) https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/napa-arrest-made-in-fatal-stabbings-of-2-women-2567339.php7) https://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/LegalCenter/story?id=1187524&page=18) https://www.crimescenecleanup.com/napa-ca-halloween-massacre/9) https://truecrimedetective.co.uk/one-night-of-terror-the-napa-valley-halloween-murders-38a7433d027f10) https://www.theforgivenessproject.com/stories-library/cathy-harrington/Support the show

TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the weeks of October 30 and November 6, 2023, and particularly for Halloween. MUSIC – ~18 sec – Lyrics: “Summer's over, winter's coming; summer's over, winter's coming.” That's part of “Winter is Coming,” by The Steel Wheels. It sets the stage for an episode on the origins of Halloween in the ancient festival of Samhain, first observed centuries ago by Celtic peoples. Celtic lands include Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and areas of England and France. Samhain marked the end of the Celtic year on October 31, when summer had faded, winter was approaching, and—in Celtic belief—the dividing line between earth and the spirit world was thin, allowing spirits of the dead to roam. As described by Miranda Aldhouse-Green in her 2015 book The Celtic Myths, quote, “It was at the festival of Samhain, at the edge of winter, that the world of humans was most at risk from the inhabitants of the world beyond: the boundaries were suspended and the spirits could prowl among the living, to their good or detriment depending on the character of the individual phantom,” unquote. Along with Halloween's date, many of its traditions can be traced back to Samhain practices, such as donning costumes or disguises, believed by the Celts to help them avoid being recognized by wandering spirits. When they weren't wandering the earth at Samhain, Celtic spirits and Celtic gods were believed to reside in what was known as the Otherworld. In Celtic beliefs, watery areas were considered access points to the Otherworld. Celtic mythology also gave special significance to swans, whose beautiful appearance on the water might have suggested connections to Celtic gods. Here's a short version of an Irish legend about Samhain and swans; the opening and closing sounds are Tundra Swans, a North American species whose Berwick's Swan subspecies is found in Ireland and Wales. SOUNDS - 4 sec – Tundra Swans. Oenghus was the Celtic god of love. In the myth called “The Dream of Oenghus,” the god dreamed he saw a woman named Caer, the Celtic goddess of sleep and dreams, and he became smitten with her. He searched far and wide for her, eventually finding her among a group of other women at a lake, and learning that every other year at Samhain the women turned into swans. At the next Samhain, Oenghus returned to the lake and, by turning himself into a swan, was able to win Caer's heart. The story ends with the pair of swans circling the lake three times, casting a sleep enchantment on everyone below, and flying off together. SOUNDS - 4 sec – Tundra Swans. I hope your Halloween has rich traditions and a bit of mystery, perhaps about waters or water creatures from worlds unknown. Thanks to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the swan sounds. Thanks also to The Steel Wheels for permission to use part of “Winter is Coming.” We close with another musical selection, which has become a Halloween-episode tradition on this show. Here, for about 50 seconds, is “A Little Fright Music,” composed and recorded or Virginia Water Radio by Torrin Hallett. MUSIC – ~50 sec – Instrumental. SHIP'S BELL Virginia Water Radio is produced by the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, part of Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources and Environment.
