Juan Vallejo Corona: The Farm Field Butcher – 25 Graves in the Orchard

In this chilling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale unearths the horrifying legacy of Juan Vallejo Corona, the Mexican-born labor contractor who orchestrated one of the deadliest killing sprees in American history. In 1971, a farmer’s quiet orchard in Yuba City, California, became a mass grave — with 25 men buried in shallow pits, all stabbed, mutilated, and left to rot in the soil they once worked. Corona, who supplied migrant workers to local farms, kept a detailed ledger of names — later dubbed “The Death List” — and used his position of trust to lure transients into his web of death. This episode explores how mental illness, rage, and control transformed a hardworking family man into a cold-blooded killer whose victims were nearly forgotten by time.
