Wesley Shermantine, one of the notorious “Speed Freak Killers,” has died at 60 while on death row in California State Prison, Folsom. Alongside his partner Loren Herzog, they were linked to over 70 murders across San Joaquin County in the 80s and 90s, driven by meth addiction. Herzog’s convictions were later overturned and he died by suicide in 2012. Shermantine’s maps helped investigators locate hundreds of bone fragments in Calaveras County, leading to the identification of victims Cyndi Vanderheiden and Chevy Wheeler via DNA. The DA acknowledged that while Shermantine’s death ends his legal sentence, it doesn’t undo the decades of trauma for victims’ families — including Howard King III and Paul Cavanaugh — and vowed to stand with them, honoring their enduring strength. His death marks a grim, final chapter in a long, haunting case.

Uber Ordered to Pay $40M After Driver Left Passenger on Freeway | Fresno News
Uber is ordered to pay $40 million to the parents of Emily Normandin-Parker, who was fatally struck on a freeway last year after an Uber driver left her stranded. A retired judge arbitrator ruled Uber is fully liable, rejecting the company’s claim that Proposition 22 shields it from responsibility — arguing voters were never told Uber would be absolved of driver misconduct. The arbitrator also declared Uber a common carrier with a legal duty to ensure safety. Uber disagrees and says Proposition 22 still protects them, while the grieving parents say the company showed no remorse and plan to use the settlement to fund a foundation pushing for corporate accountability in ride-sharing.
