  • Kai the Homefree Hitchhiker on the Arcata Plaza earlier this year.

Caleb McGillvary, who called himself "Kai the Homefree Hitchhiker," charmed and alarmed us when he burst on the news scene with his ax-wielding heroics and then made it onto the Jimmy Kimmel show. For a spell, before going east, he hung out at the Arcata Plaza and up at Humboldt State University, and he called Eureka his home.

Now he's been indicted on charges of murdering 74-year-old Joseph Galfy, a New Jersey lawyer.

Philadelphia Magazine's got the latest.
