## Resource

Hey Spooky Squad! Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, we’re heading to Northern California for a case so brutal and disturbing that it left an entire community in shock—the murders of Claudia Maupin and Oliver “Chip” Northup. In 2013, the elderly couple was found tortured and murdered inside their quiet home in Davis, California. What investigators uncovered was a horrifying crime involving kidnapping, robbery, and violence carried out by a group of young perpetrators whose actions seemed almost impossible to comprehend. As the details emerged, the case sparked outrage not only because of its brutality, but because of the ages of those involved and the disturbing lack of remorse shown afterward. So, grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!
