About this listen
March 10, 1963.
An onion field on the edge of Bakersfield becomes the final stop for a young LAPD officer whose only crime was believing in mercy.
In this episode of Chasing the Dark, we walk into the quiet rows where dawn arrived too late. We trace the hours after a routine traffic stop spiraled into terror, betrayal, and irreversible loss. Two men run. One officer falls. And the earth bears witness.
This is not a story told through headlines or courtroom transcripts alone. It’s a descent into fear, moral fracture, and the unbearable weight of survival. A meditation on duty, cowardice, and what it means to live when your partner does not.
The onion field remembers.
And so do we.
