Authorities said they believe the remains of nearly 20 people may be buried there.

Convicted killer Shermantine claims he and his partner in crime, Herzog, dumped bodies there after a killing spree in the '90s.



Why does California seem to have more than it's fair share of serial killers? I stand some what corrected. This country has more than it's fair share.

1. California is the biggest state. Just on population, we'd have more serial killers

5. British Columbia has more serial killers too. Something about a more transient population.

3. This not too far from me & it's creepy that serial killers seem to gravitate to California..

don't now why. No wonder Loren Herzog committed suicide a bit over a month ago. I hope they find the girl that's been missing for a over a decade and was last seen with Shermantine and herzog. So sad...They were even more debauched and savage that was afirst thought, troglodytes!

4. if those were the remains of 20 people there are a lot parts missing

the human body has 205 bones. 20x205=4100. So 300 + bones is only about 2 1/2 bodies

6. I believe many of the bones are not intact

They are currently using a back hoe on the well from a side angle down to the base. But, that is what I can only tell from the photo. Also they've been underground for many years.

and they've only be at it for a couple of days. Today dig was called off because of the rain.
