Kehidupan awal
Chase is a native of Santa Clara, California. He was tortured by his parents; and, at the age of 10, he showed evidence of the three parts of the Macdonald triad: wetting, burning, and cruelty to animals, which some see as an indicator of possible future violent tendencies. In his teenage years, he was known as a chronic alcohol and drug addict.

Initial adult
Chase developed hypochondria as an adult. He often complains that his heart sometimes "stops beating," or that "someone has stolen his lung artery". He will hold the orange in his head, believing that vitamin C will be absorbed by his brain through diffusion. Chase also believes that his skull bones have become separate and moving around, so he shaves his head to be able to watch this activity.
After leaving her mother's house (believing she tried to poison her), Chase rented an apartment with her friends. Chase's roommate complained that he was constantly intoxicated with alcohol, marijuana, and LSD. Chase will also run around the nude apartment, even in front of the company. Chase's roommate demanded he move. When he refused, roommates moved in instead.
After being alone in the apartment, Chase began catching, killing, and removing various animals, which would then be eaten raw, sometimes mixing the raw organs with Coca-Cola in a blender and drinking the potion. Chase believes that by swallowing the creatures he prevents his heart from shrinking.
Institutionalization
Chase spent a short time in the psychiatric ward in 1973. In 1976, Chase involuntarily committed himself to a mental institution when he was taken to hospital after injecting rabbit blood into his veins. The staff called him "Dracula" because of his blood fixation. He broke the neck of two birds that he caught through the institution window and drank their blood. He also took blood from a therapy dog ​​with a stolen needle.
Chase was diagnosed immediately with paranoid schizophrenia. After undergoing treatment involving psychotropic drugs, Chase is considered no longer harmful to the public; and, later in 1976, he was released to his mother's custody.
Chase's mother stopped her from her medicine and got her own apartment. He originally shared the apartment with his roommate before everything moved, leaving Chase alone.
The investigation then discovered that, in mid-1977, Chase was stopped and arrested at the time of booking at Lake Pyramid (Nevada), the area. His body was smeared with blood and a bucket of blood was found in his truck. The blood was determined to be the blood of a cow, and no charge was made.
Massacre
On December 29, 1977, Chase killed his first known victim in a car shoot. The victim, Ambrose Griffin, is a 51-year-old engineer and father of two.
He tried to enter a woman's house two weeks later, but because the door of his room was locked, he went away. Chase then told the detective that he took the locked door as a sign that he was not accepted, but the door that was not locked was an invitation to go inside. He was caught and chased by a couple who returned home when he stole their belongings; she also urinate and defecate on baby cots and baby clothes.
On January 23, 1978, Chase broke into a house and shot Teresa Wallin (three months pregnant at the time) three times. He then had sexual intercourse with his corpse while stabbing him with a butcher knife. He then took out some organs, cut off one of his nipples and drank his blood. He put the dog poo from the Wallin yard down his throat before leaving.
On January 27, Chase entered the 38-year-old house of Evelyn Miroth. He meets his friend, Danny Meredith, whom he fires with a.22 pistol, then retrieves Meredith's wallet and keys. He then shot Miroth, his six-year-old son, Jason, and his 22-month-old nephew, David Ferreira, before engaging in necrophilia and cannibalism with Miroth's body.
The knocks of visitors at the door startled Chase, who escaped in Meredith's car, carrying Ferreira's body with him. The visitor told a neighbor, who called the police. They discover that Chase has left the perfect hand prints and footprints in Miroth's blood. Chase was arrested shortly afterwards - the police who ransacked Chase's apartment found that walls, floors, ceilings, refrigerators, and all of Chase's tableware and drink were soaked in blood.
Aftermath
In 1979, Chase was tried on six counts of murder. To avoid the death penalty, the defense tried to convict him of second-degree murder, which would result in a life sentence. Their case relies on the history of Chase's mental illness and the allegation that his crime was unplanned.
On May 8, the jury found Chase guilty of six counts of first-degree murder and, rejecting the argument that he was innocent by reason of insanity, sentenced him to death in a gas chamber. His cousin, aware of the peculiar and strange nature of Chase's crime, was afraid of him, and according to prison officials, often tried to persuade Chase to commit suicide.
Chase gave a series of interviews with Robert Ressler, where he spoke of his fears of the Nazis and UFOs, claiming that even though he had killed, it was not his fault; he has been forced to kill to keep him alive, which he believes will be done by others. He asks Ressler to give him access to a radar gun, with which he can catch Nazi UFOs, so that the Nazis can be put on trial for the murder. He also handed over to Ressler a large amount of macaroni and cheese, which he had dumped in pocket pockets, believing that the prison officials conspired with the Nazis and tried to kill him with poisonous food.
On December 26, 1980, Chase was found in his cell, not breathing; the autopsy found that he committed suicide with an overdose of prescribed antidepressants that he had kept for several weeks.
