Welcome back to Cherry Avenue True Crime Podcast!

I have a bonus mini-episode for you today about the Blackout Killer.

In my next upcoming episode: The Last Hangman, I will be covering Albert Pierrepoint and the movie made about his career as executioner from 1931 to 1956. During his career he executed somewhere between 435 and 600 people. 200 of those were from war crimes that took place during WWII, such as the Beast of Belsen and Irma Grese.

Pierrepoint executed many notable murderers in the UK, but one that was not featured in the movie, was Gordon Cummins, aka the Blackout Killer or the Blackout Ripper.

So for this mini-episode we will go over one of the truly horrible men that Albert Pierrepoint had to encounter during his job as head executioner in 1942.

Napa is located in Northern California and is known for it’s wine vineyards. Halloween night in 2004 brought a horror movie scene to this picturesque town.

Roommates’, Leslie, Lauren and Adriane had a fun night of handing out candy and had retired to their separate bedrooms.

Lauren fell asleep but awoke to her dog growling. Listening attentively she heard some unusual noises in the house and then screaming. She looked out her door and saw a man run down the stairs and then jump out the front window. She found her roommates had been attacked and she called 911. Leslie Mazarra, 25, was dead. Adrien Insogna, 26, was rushed to hospital but died before arriving. They had both been Stabbed repeatedly.
