The Zodiac Killer? (But wasn't that in Cali too?)
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Echoing meara's depends on who you believe, Nichole Brown Simpson? (although that was LA, too)

Because books.
Maybe they're trying to distinguish between other California/Hollywood murders, with Hollywoodland (George Reeves's death) coming out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think you can count the "depends on who you believe" ones. I guess it's what AmyLiz says.

AmyLiz is probably right.
Doesn't mean I didn't like the other game better. Depending on who you believe, Lindbergh baby?

I was going to say that even "in California history" is overstating it, considering this is the state that gave us the Zodiac Killer. But I assumed they specified CA to avoid saying "in history," which would clearly be ludicrous.
Honestly, I think they're trying to make it sound important without making too many people go, "Um, so why I have never heard of it before if it's such a big deal?" It was a notorious case sixty years ago. Now?

Sorry! I didn't mean to be a bummer.

AmyLiz, you are never a bummer. Rather, I am sometimes as easily distracted by true crime as I am by shiny objects.
