Bad Blood: A Family Murder in Marin County

Richard M. Levine's Bad Blood: A Family Murder in Marin County tells of 16-year-old Marlene Olive and 19-year-old Charles "Chuck" David Riley, who casually talked about and then carried out the brutal murder of Marlene's adoptive parents, James and Naomi Olive. The killings took place in June 1975 in a quiet and conventional Terra Linda neighborhood. The two teenagers disposed of the bodies by wrapping them in rugs, dousing them with gasoline and burning them beyond recognition in an abandoned cistern at China Camp State Park.
