The Wineville Chicken Coop murders, also known as the Wineville Chicken murders, were a series of abductions and murders of young boys that occurred in the city of Los Angeles and in Riverside County, California, between 1926 and 1928. The case received national attention.
Gordon Stewart Northcott was born in Bladworth, Saskatchewan, Canada and raised in British Columbia. He moved to Los Angeles, California with his parents in 1924. Two years later, at age 19, Northcott asked his father to purchase a plot of land in the community of Wineville, located in Riverside County, California, where he built a chicken ranch and a house with the help of both his father and his nephew, Sanford Clark. It was this pretext that Northcott used to bring Clark from Bladworth to the U.S. Upon the boy's arrival to the Wineville ranch, Northcott began to beat and sexually abuse Clark.
