1876 - California oil industry born as CSO No. 4 in Pico Canyon becomes state's first commercially productive oil well [story]
Pico No. 4


Tony Alamo, a child rapist and self-proclaimed pastor who had properties in Santa Clarita and an online ministry in his name despite a 175-year federal prison sentence for sex crimes against children, died Wednesday. He was 82.

Convicted in 2009, Alamo, aka Bernie LaZar Hoffman, died in a federal prison facility in North Carolina.

Alamo had been in ailing health the last two years, according to W. David Carter, a Texarkana-based attorney who has fought for years to recover damages from Alamo’s various estates.

Carter represents seven girls also referred to as his “child brides,” who were all underage “ when Alamo was convicted of transporting them across state line for sexual purposes, as well as two men who were boys when they were beaten and starved by members of the church.
