About this listen
In this episode, we talk about the hostage situation that unfolded when three college-age friends from Bakersfield headed to their remote family cabin in the California hills. We break down how a man named Benjamin Ashley, armed and delusional, ambushed them on private land, held them at gunpoint, and later murdered a retired dentist. We cover the fifteen-day manhunt that followed, the DNA evidence police used to ID the suspect, and the tactical shootout that ended it all. This is the story of a planned summer getaway that turned into a survival test with real casualties.
