    Speed Freak Killer Dies in Prison | Sacramento News

    Wesley Shermantine, one of the infamous “Speed Freak Killers” responsible for four brutal murders in California’s San Joaquin Valley during the 80s and 90s, has died at age 60 while serving a death sentence in prison. His meth-fueled rampage with childhood friend Loren Herzog left a trail of disappearances and killings that authorities never fully solved — until 2012, when Shermantine began sending cryptic maps to investigators, leading them to unearth the remains of two victims on his family’s land and over a thousand bone fragments in a well, including two more missing women. After years of deflecting blame onto Herzog, Shermantine finally confessed — just as Herzog, whose convictions were overturned and later pleaded guilty to manslaughter, took his own life. Though California hasn’t executed anyone since 2006 and Governor Newsom halted executions in 2019, Shermantine’s death sentence remained active until his passing — with the cause of death still under investigation by Sacramento County Coroner’s Office.

    Reward Rises for Burnt Cedar Tree Poisoner | Sacramento News

    Someone’s been secretly poisoning trees at Burnt Cedar Beach near Lake Tahoe, with 28 trees hit in three separate attacks since 2022. The reward for catching the culprit has soared to $147,000 — split between $25,000 from the Incline Village General Improvement District and $122,000 from private donors. Authorities are seeking info that leads to an arrest and conviction, with deputies responding multiple times since late July. The sheriff’s office won’t reveal what was used, but suspects all incidents are linked — potentially leading to serious felony charges. If you’ve got tips, contact Washoe County Sheriff’s Office at 775-328-3001 (case 26-4225) or use Secret Witness for a $1,000 anonymous tip. This environmental vandalism is unacceptable in such a cherished natural spot — and this massive reward hopes to bring justice fast.

    Humpback Whale in the Sacramento River | Sacramento News

    A humpback whale just showed up way up the Sacramento River near Rio Vista—yes, really. This isn’t its first rodeo; since 2002, this adult whale has been spotted at least 15 times along California and Mexico coasts. But the river? That’s new territory. Back in 2007, another mom and calf—Delta and Dawn—made it nearly 90 miles up the Delta, prompting scientists to give them antibiotics and try to coax them back to the ocean with whale sounds and metal pipe banging. They eventually made it under the Golden Gate Bridge. These giants are navigating mysteries we’re still unraveling.
