Hometown Homicide Bako

About Hometown Homicide Bako

Cases of murder and other true crime from this not-so-little town of Bakersfield, CA, as well as around the County of Kern.  Think there isn't much going on in Bako?  Know it only as a place to grab a bite to eat and fill up your gas tank on the way to somewhere else?  Find out just how much goes on here, and how we're a lot like other places you know well, like Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York.  And I will show you just how personal, gritty, and heartbreaking life can be here, as well as the humanity and oneness we all share.  And maybe you can even help solve a cold case or two!  I also try to focus on cases affecting marginalized people (POC's, LGBTQ+, indigenous people, sex workers, immigrants, etc.).
