Ep 6. Charlene and Gerald Gallego

Charlene and Gerald Gallego were a couple that embarked on a killing spree that spanned California and Nevada in the late 1970s. Charlene, a former sex worker, met Gerald while he was serving time in prison for rape. After his release, the two married and became a murderous duo.

Their reign of terror started when they kidnapped two teenage girls and sexually assaulted them before killing them. They continued to kidnap and murder young women, often luring them with promises of work or a place to stay. The Gallegos would often rape their victims before killing them, and would sometimes pick targets at random.

Their crimes escalated to the point where they kidnapped entire families, killing the parents and keeping the children as their own. The Gallegos were eventually caught when one of their victims, a young girl named Brenda Judd, managed to escape and alert authorities.

Charlene and Gerald were both convicted of multiple counts of murder and sentenced to death. Charlene later claimed that she was coerced into participating in the crimes by Gerald, but she was still sentenced to life in prison without parole. Gerald was put to death by lethal injection in 2002.

The episode delves into the twisted relationship between Charlene and Gerald, and explores how they were able to commit such horrific crimes. It also features interviews with law enforcement officials and family members of the victims, who provide insight into the impact that the Gallegos' actions had on their lives.
