Lisa Rinna's Terror on the Trails

0:00It's April 9th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today where the headlines shine, powered by AI. Lisa Rennage's drop some heavy-family stories on a new special. Back in 1960, her late mom Lois survived a brutal attack by David Carpenter, the guy who became known as the Trailside Killer. They worked together in San Francisco and he lured her into his car from a bus stop, drove her to a remote spot in the Presidio, and went at her with a knife and hammer. Military police shot him in the stomach, saving her life. She ended up in the hospital for three months with severed fingers and a metal plate in her head. Carpenter had a history of molestation, kidnapping, and rape convictions, and that attack landed him seven years behind bars. After getting out, he kicked off a murder spree in the late 70s, getting convicted of seven killings, linked to an eighth, and suspected in two. More. He's 95 now, still on death row at San Quentin. Rennage calls her mom a total warrior, always positive, never playing the victim.

1:03Lois had no clue. She almost became his first murder victim, and years later, she even testified against him during his trial for those trail murders. Rennage watched that, soaking in her mom's unbreakable vibe. Shifting to her dad, Frank, Rennage opened up about his passing at 94 in Oregon. Under the state's death with dignity act from 1997, he chose medical aid in dying after his quality of life tanked. As family and a death doula bear, he took the meds himself, peaceful, like going to sleep. These raw tails hid hard, especially after Renn and left real housewives, amid losing her mom. The special tear on the trail streams now on Hulu and Disney Plus, reminding us how survival and tough choices shape legacies.
