Gerald and Charlene Gallego made for terrifying partners in crime. An attractive brunette, Charlene Gallego had no trouble luring innocent youths into her car with the promise of work or marijuana. An unquenchable serial killer, Gerald Gallego would later rape and murder them at remote locations instead.The serial killer couple terrorized the city of Sacramento for two long years before carelessness got them caught. Their California killing spree from 1978 to 1980 left nine women raped before being bludgeoned or shot to death, and one man killed outright. Disturbingly, most of the victims were teens. One was pregnant.Gerald Gallego would threaten the victims at gunpoint and tie them up before brutalizing them, then ending their lives. Those who weren’t shot were beaten to death with shovels or hammers. The press christened the crimes “the Sex-Slave Murders.” Entire communities were paralyzed with fear.#shorts #crime #crimedocumentaries
