Sweetheart Murders | Sac Biz Roundtable | Jennifer Reason and Rick Kushman

Insight With Vicki Gonzalez

Analyzing the case of the “Sweetheart Murders.” How Sacramento small businesses are faring during the holidays. Finally, a seasonal pairing of music and wine.

Sweetheart Murders

In 1980, two UC Davis students - John Riggins and Sabrina Gonsalves - were abducted days before Christmas. Their bodies were found two days later in Sacramento County, in a case that became known as the “Sweetheart Murders.” Decades later, Richard Hirschfield was eventually convicted for the murders and received the death penalty in 2013. He died this week in prison. Former Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert was devoted to solving the Sweetheart Murders, and joins Insight to talk about the long pursuit of justice to turn this cold case into a conviction.

Sac Biz Roundtable

Sacramento is full of small businesses to satisfy shoppers looking to buy local during the holidays. But many of these businesses have also faced their share of struggles over the past year. N’Gina Guyton, owner and chef at Jim Denny’s restaurant, founder David Gull, from New Helvetia Brewing Company and Susan Stewart, owner of Strapping Store and Licked Ice Cream sit down for a small business roundtable to talk about their own journeys and what comes next.
