Notable people

  • Joe “Fasho” Bilandzija - Founder of The Humboldt Cure
  • Michael Bear Carson and Suzan Carson - serial killers
  • Frank Cieciorka - graphic artist
  • Eugene "ED" Denson — in the 1960's managed the prominent band Country Joe and The Fish that performed at Woodstock. In later years, he built a successful law practice that centered around representing the local marijuana growers in the area.

"Murder Mountain"

The Rancho Sequoia area of Alderpoint[13][14] is called "Murder Mountain" from the actions of the Carson serial killers (Michael Bear Carson and Suzan Carson), including the murder of 26-year-old Clark Stephens on May 17, 1982,[15] and for other disappearances, murders and rumored murders.[16]

Two high-profile missing persons are Robert "Bobby" Tennison, a 38-year-old father of four, missing since January 2009,[17][18] and Garret Rodriguez, a 29-year-old from San Diego, California, who was reported missing on April 25, 2013 by his father.[19] In their last conversation in December 2012, Rodriguez told his father, Val Rodriguez, he was headed to "Murder Mountain" to work on a marijuana grow.[20] After he went missing, his truck was found in June 2013.[21][22] On December 1, 2013, human remains were found in a grave on a private property on Jewett Road, one day after private investigators received an anonymous tip about the exact location of a grave believed to be Rodriguez's.[23] On December 17, the remains were identified as Rodriguez's, and he was confirmed a victim of a homicide.[24] It is suspected that the anonymous tip came from a confession extracted from the man responsible for the murder,[23] who gave up the information after being kidnapped, shot twice, and threatened by a group of eight local vigilantes on Thanksgiving Day.[25] In 2018, Rodriguez and "Murder Mountain" were featured in the Netflix docu-series Murder Mountain.[26]

Across the valley from Rancho Sequoia on Pratt Mountain, in 1973, 24-year-old Dirk Dickenson was shot in the back by a federal agent during a military-style federal raid which arrived at his property by helicopter.[27][28] Dickenson was found blameless by a Federal Department of Justice investigation; charges against his killer were moved to federal court and ultimately dismissed.[29] Dickenson was posthumously featured on the cover of Rolling Stone[30] and is recognized as the first victim of the U.S. war on drugs.[31]
