+214 // Ding Dong Ditch (Patreon)

On the night of January 19th, 2020, a group of 6 teenagers were hanging out at 16-year-old Daniel Hawkins’ house in Corona, California- about a 45 minute drive, southeast of L.A.. Jacob Ivascu had just turned 16 as well- just a few days before, and the tight knit crew had gotten together to celebrate. When 10:00 PM came around that evening, the 6 teens eventually dared one of the boys to a game of ding dong ditch…but what they could have never known was that the man inside the home they picked at random was 42-year-old Anurag Chandra - an angry and abusive drunk who wasn’t the type to let a simple prank slide…
