About this listen

In this chilling episode of Champagne & Murder Please, we explore two haunting tales that blur the line between mystery and madness. First, we revisit the heartbreaking 1984 disappearance of 5-year-old Renee Aitken, who vanished from her North Carolina bedroom without a trace—no forced entry, no clear suspect, and decades of unanswered questions. Then, we dive into the terrifying mind of Richard Chase, the so-called "Vampire of Sacramento," whose brief but brutal killing spree in the late 1970s left six victims dead—and the nation shaken. What drives someone to drink human blood? And how can a child disappear so silently into the night? Join us as we trace the shadowy paths of two very different horrors—one unsolved, the other unforgettable.
