CHICO, Calif. - The victims, Dr. William and Katherine Chiapella, were pillars of the Chico community and their killings would send out shockwaves.
Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey remembered the crime on January 13, 1987, by saying, these were very savage, brutal killings of Dr. and Mrs. Chiapella.
This story begins with a good deed. Dr. William Chiapella, a Chico obstetrician, and his wife Katherine, placed a job order through Chico State University to hire a student to do yard work. The student they hired; Steven Crittenden. And that would prove to be a fatal mistake.
