CASE STUDY: 126:
NONSPECIFIC MOTIVE MURDER
Background
“Born on April
18, 1947, and raised in Santa Cruz, California, Herbert Mullin had a relatively
normal childhood. His father, a World War II veteran, was stern but not overtly
abusive. He frequently discussed his heroic war activities and showed his son
how to use a gun at an early age. Mullin had numerous friends at school and was
voted ‘most likely to succeed’ by his classmates.” In 1965, “shortly after
graduating from high school, one of Mullin’s best friends, Dean, was killed in a
car accident, and Mullin was devastated. He built a shrine to his deceased
friend in his bedroom and later expressed fears that he was gay, even though he
had a long-term girlfriend at the time.
