'Not too many people come upon one body in their lifetime. Three times is a habit.'
Shirley Landruth had been working for Shasta County’s Secret Witness program for 12 years when a strange man began calling the hotline in 1985. The line allowed people to call in tips for unsolved crimes, sometimes for reward money. The system was strictly anonymous, so Landruth never recorded their conversations.
The caller gave Landruth directions to the location of a body, offering her the distance from the road in both meters and feet. He was insistent she relay his information to the police. Unbeknownst to the man, Landruth began recording the call. For the next few years, he called her over 20 times, giving information that would lead to the discovery of three bodies and collecting the reward money each time.
In early August, a man called into the Secret Witness hotline, saying the body of a woman was on Bechelli Lane and South Bonnyview Road near the Sacramento River. When law enforcement arrived at the scene, they couldn’t find anything, packed up and went home. Frustrated, the man called the hotline again, giving even more specific instructions on how to find Weeden’s body.
