    2024/10/02

    In the 1980s and 1990s, one crime family was responsible for the deaths of multiple elderly people across San Francisco. They befriended them, gained their trust, then poisoned them with a "magic salt" and then took their money, but one tenacious private investigator by the name of Fay "Rat Dog Dick" Faron helped bring their crimes to light.
