About Facing Evil Podcast

By |

On October 24th, 2014, evil came to Sacramento, California with methamphetamine in his veins, and whispers of murder in his thoughts.  

He and his wife engaged in a Bonnie-and-Clyde like crime spree, killing two deputies and wounding a third deputy and a civilian. More victims and witnesses were terrorized as a several-hour manhunt ensued, locking down schools and neighborhoods. The effects of chaos reverberated throughout the region until the couple was taken into custody.  

This podcast is based upon the book written by Deputy Scott Brown and Victoria Newman, Facing Evil : A Cop’s Story of Murder, Mayhem, and the Aftermath. Season One concentrates primarily on both the murder and the mayhem that took place in both Sacramento and Placer County California on October 24th, 2014. 

CONTENT ADVISORY: This podcast contains intense recreations of violent criminal behavior that may trigger those who have had previous trauma and disturb those that have not. Strong and offensive language is used throughout the podcast as well. Listener discretion is advised.

Episode One: Collision Course

On October 22, 2014, Luis Bracamontes and his wife, Janelle Monroy, were heading for San Francisco, CA from Carson City, NV. After a stop in Vacaville, CA on October 23, 2014, their journey took them on an unexpected detour back to Sacramento with an urgent need to purchase drugs.

On the morning of October 24, 2014, Sacramento Sheriff Deputies Danny Oliver and Scott Brown awoke early to assist other officers with a search. Little did they know that a few innocuous decisions concerning their routine later that morning would put them on a collision course with evil.
