In 1958, an El Cajon man picked up a sixteen-year-old runaway off of old Highway 80 near Alpine. The young man lived with the Pendergast family for several weeks. Two weeks before Christmas, the troubled young man killed Lois Pendergast and her four children. Come along with local historian and true crime author Richard Carrico as he takes us back to the event that was then described as the “largest mass murder in San Diego history.” All OBHS Programs are FREE!
