… here’s a jarringly specific go-to location courtesy of the script scribes at the CBS mucho dramatico cop drama Criminal Minds.
But first, a little background on this scene from last week’s ‘sode: As part of (we’re guessing) a far-from-standard plea deal, FBI Special Agent David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) must visit an incarcerated serial killer once a year to get the name and location of the bodies of girls killed while the murderer was still at-large. The catch? Since he’s so committed to justice, Rossi agreed to meet every year … on his birthday! What a stone cold badass!
Anywho, watch the video below and then change your Memorial Day weekend Humboldt hiking plans.
If there’s anyone local who shares the name on that card at the end … man, that’s creepy!
Let’s see … what else did we see on TV recently … uh … oh right! Bobo!
As long as we’re talking about bits of Humboldtness on the national stage, we’ll just mention that famous local bigfoot hunter Bobo was featured on The Colbert Report a couple weeks back. Sure, Bobo is one of the stars of Finding Bigfoot, now in its second season. But, c’mon. Face time on Comedy Central trumps Animal Planet appearances any day.
Bobo is part of the team assigned the task of finding an elusive Florida “Super PAC-er.” (It’s near the end.)

OK. Now we think you’re caught up.
This article appears in Humboldt County District Soup.
not funny. we r still scarred from the boobie-snatcher serial killer
Bobo was mentioned in Sublime liner notes years ago, and a couple weeks back appeared in a South Park Episode. The man is a superstar.
The location was obviously dug up via google maps or something similar, definitely not through any local knowledge as the body was located near a big “Sequoia”.
Checking in from the road and first saw the T-S story “Body found Monday in Humboldt Bay” and then clicked over here to see “If you’re going to dump a body in Eureka…”
Relieved my initial thought of, “Wow, I know the Journal’s trying to be edgy, but c’mon!” was, in fact, unwarranted. (Although, considering the post’s author, I wouldn’t have been surprised to be correct.)
Hey!
Eh. I can’t muster any faux outrage after 5 p.m.
You could’ve stopped just before “any.”
