On this day, Sept. 10, in 1977, Gerald Gallego met a young woman, Charlene Williams, at a poker club in Sacramento. The smitten couple blossomed into one of the most violent serial killing duos in history.
After a year, Gallego decided he wanted to turn his sick fantasies into reality. Charlene Gallego convinced two girls, 16 and 17, to climb into their van. Gallego greeted them with a .25-caliber pistol and bound them. Charlene stayed in the van. When he returned hours later, he told his wife, “Ask me no questions, and I’ll tell you no lies.” Gallego then struck the girls with a tire iron and shot them dead.
