Coming Aug. 9th: The Sledgehammer Murders
Notorious Bakersfield has been on hiatus for the last couple of weeks.
I'll be back Tuesday, August 9th with this all-new Notorious Bakersfield story, The Sledgehammer Murders. -
Encore: Torie Lynn Knapp
A parole board recommended parole for a convicted murderer. In 2001 Torie Lynn Knapp was brutally stabbed to death by her then 15-year-old son Parker Chamberlin.
This was a gruesome murder that shocked everyone who knew both the victim and the killer. How could a teenager who appeared to have a close and loving relationship with his mother...kill her...and in such a brutal way?
It's a question everyone has-the family, friends of the family, and even the detectives who investigated the case. -
E58: The Wickersham Heist
An organized crime ring burglarized the Wickersham Jewelry store in downtown Bakersfield in 1964. This is that story.

Customer Reviews
Great storyteller
I am originally from Saudi Arabia and I’ve been living in Bakersfield for the past five years and this podcast makes me feel i lived here forever, I learned so much from him”good and bad”. What a wonderful narrator.
My little brothers podcast.
I’m proud to say, I love my little brothers podcast! That’s right you heard that, he’s my little brother, the notorious Robert Petersen. I had a chance to do his Friday the 13th self tour and it was fantastic! Although I had the notorious one my tour guide which helps with all of his knowledge of the town and research. Not to mention he was born here and has lived here most of his life. The local knowledge is fantastic and fun. I can’t wait to take another tour with him. And you can take that same tour, but drive it yourself.
What a fun evening with you brother. Thank you very much. Love you
Arvin girl
