Is there a new serial killer terrorizing the affluent community of Malibu Canyon? Residents are just now beginning to wonder if a string of crimes over the past two years are connected, and if their lives may be in danger. Suspicion started with a shocking murder at Malibu Creek State Park this summer. On June 22, a man named Tristan Beaudette was killed while camping with his daughters. He was shot in the chest while asleep in his tent. The killer was never found, there were no leads, and there was no clear motive. Luckily, his two young daughters were unharmed. The slaying caused people to look back at two other shootings in the same park. In one case, a woman discovered that the tailgate of her truck had been shot while she was asleep inside. In another, a couple slept in their car and awoke to a loud bang. When they checked in the morning,...
