Published 5:30 am Friday, May 23, 2025 As a fan of true crime, I was looking forward to binge-watching “Happy Face,” a Paramount+ Original, after I learned that Hermiston was mentioned in two episodes. However, before I settled in with a bowl of popcorn, I conducted a Google search about the eight-episode series. I was familiar with Keith Hunter Jesperson, a serial murderer dubbed “The Happy Face Killer” in the early 1990s.
