May 6 2024 • 1 hr 26 mins

Johnny George grew up in Del Paso Heights in Sacramento, California. Del Paso Heights is considered one of the roughest areas in the Sacramento area. He grew up with a step father who took him in as if he was his own. He was not considered a step father, he was just dad.

Unfortunately, addiction caught hold of Johnny's dad, and that addiction manifested in violent and unhealthy ways. At the age of 12, Johnny witnessed his father take his own life. This event would change the course of Johnny's life.

After this event, Johnny would have difficulties of his own. In later years Johnny would reflect and realize that a lot of his own difficulties stemmed from not being able to process that event. He would struggle through school, but eventually would begin to forge a life of his own.

As he grew, he took on a family of his own. He did not have any biological children of his own, but assumed a fatherly role over the daughters of a significant other. He would assume this role while these kids were young, but he would continue his relationship with them as they grew to be adults. Again, he was not a step father, as he learned from his father, he was just dad.

Unfortunately, one of his daughters would leave the home one night, and never return. In the days to come, he would learn that his daughter was murdered and left in her burning car near the river. The murderers have never been caught, and the case is still pending.

Hear the harrowing story. Hear the effects of violence and tragedy and how it can shape a life. This is the true story of Johnny George.
