Rabbits, cats and dogs

In 1975, he injected rabbit blood into his veins and suffered blood poisoning. He was involuntarily institutionalised at Beverly Manor and diagnosed by doctors to have severe schizophrenia.
Chase didn’t react to the anti-psychotic medication he was prescribed, which convinced doctors that his mental issues were due to the number of recreational drugs he had taken. A year later, he successfully escaped from the institution and showed up at his mother’s home, and was swiftly returned to Beverly Manor.
Chase often spoke to doctors and nurses about killing rabbits and drinking their blood. Many thought he was telling tall tales, until one day he was found with a bloody mouth and the corpses of two birds on his windowsill.
Chase was released from the facility in 1976, where he was taken into the custody of his mother. She weaned him off of his medication and moved him into an apartment where his new roommates quickly moved out. He continued torturing dogs, cats and rabbits and bought several guns. During one visit, his mother saw Chase tear open a dead cat and smother himself in its blood. She never reported the incident.
