| − | In March 1981, 22-year-old Keryn Barnes, an aspiring actress from [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] who had been the Carsons' roommate in San Francisco, was found dead in their shared apartment. She had been stabbed thirteen times and her skull crushed before being wrapped in a blanket and hidden in the basement. Evidence suggested that Keryn had been killed by someone she knew, and the Carsons became the [[prime suspect]]s. However, the family disappeared before the body was found. The Carsons later confessed to killing Keryn after Suzan had decided she was a witch.<ref name = "Peña" /><ref name=devilyouknow /><ref name = "Lakeland">[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=BwowAAAAIBAJ&sjid=iPsDAAAAIBAJ&dq=keryn%20barnes%20murder&pg=5095%2C6079246 Couple plead innocent after confessing at news conference], Lakeland Ledger, May 14, 1983, accessed June 27, 2013</ref> | + | In 1990, 14-year-old Melinda Loveless began dating another young girl named Amanda Heavrin. After Loveless' father left the family and her mother remarried, Loveless behaved erratically. She got into fights at school, and complained of depression, resulting in her receiving professional counseling. In March 1991, Loveless disclosed her lesbian orientation to her mother, who was initially furious but eventually accepted it. As the year progressed, Loveless' relationship with Heavrin deteriorated.<ref>Jones, pp. 123–124.</ref> |
| | + | |
| | + | Heavrin and Shanda Sharer met early in the fall semester at Hazlewood Junior High when they got into a fight; however, they became friends while in detention for the altercation, and later exchanged romantic letters. Loveless immediately grew jealous of Heavrin and Sharer's relationship. In early October 1991, Heavrin and Sharer attended a school dance, where Loveless found and confronted them. Although Heavrin and Loveless had never formally ended their relationship, Loveless started to date an older girl.<ref>Jones, pp. 138–141.</ref> |
| | | | |
| − | The Carsons fled to a mountain hideout near [[Grants Pass, Oregon|Grants Pass]], [[Oregon]], where they remained until Spring 1982. They then moved to [[Alderpoint, California|Alderpoint]], California, where they lived and worked on a [[marijuana]] farm. According to other workers on the farm, the Carsons were [[anarchy|anarchists]] who advocated revolution and predicted that a [[nuclear apocalypse]] would soon occur. In May 1982, Michael shot and killed Clark Stephens, a worker on the farm with whom he had a dispute, and attempted to dispose of the body by burning it and burying it under chicken fertilizer in the woods. Two weeks later, Stephens was reported to the [[Humboldt County, California|Humboldt County]] [[sheriff|Sheriff's Office]], leading to the discovery of his burnt remains. The Carsons, who by this point had fled, were again considered suspects. Upon searching the Carsons' abandoned belongings, detectives found a [[manifesto]] they had written which called for the assassination of then-[[President of the United States|President]] [[Ronald Reagan]].<ref name=devilyouknow /> However, authorities had difficulty tracking down the Carsons over the coming years.<ref name=devilyouknow /><ref name="Oxnard" />
| + | After Heavrin and Sharer attended a festival together in late October, Loveless began to discuss killing Sharer and threatened Sharer in public. Concerned about the effects of their daughter's relationship with Heavrin, Sharer's parents arranged for her to transfer to a Catholic school in late November.<ref>Jones, pp. 142–152.</ref> |

| − | In November 1982, Michael Bear Carson was picked up by police in [[Los Angeles]] after being seen [[hitchhiking]] by an acquaintance. However, through a police error, Carson was quickly freed and vanished before Humboldt County detectives had a chance to question him. He left evidence behind, including a mugshot, address information, and a gun left in a police car.<ref name=devilyouknow />

| | | | |
| − | The following March, the Carsons were hitchhiking near [[Bakersfield, California|Bakersfield]] and were given a ride by 30-year-old Jon Charles Hellyar, who was driving to [[Santa Rosa, California|Santa Rosa]]. Suzan Bear Carson reportedly decided that Hellyar was a witch and had to be killed. While Hellyar was driving on [[U.S. Route 101]] in [[Sonoma County, California|Sonoma County]], an argument and physical fight broke out between Hellyar and the Carsons, resulting in the car coming to a stop. The fight escalated outside the vehicle, with Suzan stabbing Hellyar while he and Michael struggled over a gun. Michael got control of the gun and shot Hellyar dead in view of passing motorists, one of whom contacted police. A high-speed chase ensued as the Carsons attempted to flee in Hellyar's car, but they were both apprehended.<ref name=devilyouknow /><ref name="Oxnard" />

| − | The Carsons initially called a [[press conference]] to confess to the murders of Hellyar, Stephens, and Keryn Barnes.<ref name = "Peña" /><ref name="Lakeland" /> Before trial, they withdrew their confessions and entered pleas of not guilty.<ref name="Lakeland" /> On June 12, 1984, the Carsons were convicted first of Barnes' murder and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison. Later, they were convicted of the murders of Stephens and Hellyar, for which they received sentences of fifty years to life and seventy-five years to life. In 1989, the [[California Courts of Appeal|First District Court of Appeal]], affirmed their third conviction as it had previously done on the other two convictions.<ref>[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=RlFKAAAAIBAJ&sjid=LyMNAAAAIBAJ&dq=suzan%20carson%20murder&pg=4867%2C19025 3rd murder conviction upheld], The Press Courier, Oxnard, California, November 1, 1989, page 2</ref> James Carson is incarcerated at [[Mule Creek State Prison]] and Suzan Carson is incarcerated at [[Central California Women's Facility]].

| − | In a five-hour interview with [[KGO-TV]] and the ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'', as well as homicide investigators, the Carsons claimed to have been [[Pacifism|pacifists]] and [[Vegetarianism|vegetarian]] [[yoga]] practitioners who converted to a form of [[Islam]], and described themselves as "vegetarian Moslem warriors."<ref name="Oxnard">[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=AUBKAAAAIBAJ&sjid=MSINAAAAIBAJ&dq=keryn%20barnes Murder Suspects Admit Slayings], The Press-Courier, Oxnard, California, April 28, 1983, p. 31</ref> Their crimes emerged from a shared mission: to exterminate individuals they believed to be "witches".<ref name="Reynolds2010" /> The press dubbed them "the San Francisco Witch Killers."<ref name="Montini" /> They stated that they killed Barnes because they believed she had made a false conversion to their religion and was "draining Miss Carson of her health and yogic powers."<ref name="Oxnard" /> Their justifications for the second and third killings were that Stephens had allegedly sexually assaulted Suzan, and that Hellyar had allegedly called her a "witch" and sexually abused her.<ref name="Oxnard" /> From their conviction and through their incarceration up to 2017, they have shown no [[remorse]] for their crimes.<ref name="Reynolds2010" />

According to Richard D. Reynolds, who wrote a book about the case, the Carsons were suspects in nearly a dozen other deaths in the U.S. and Europe.<ref name="Reynolds2010">{{cite book|author=Richard D.
