112 - The Chicago Strangler


Listen Later

This story may be one of the biggest stories never told. Despite plenty of local news coverage and a feature in the NYT, many Chicagoans don’t even know about the Chicago Strangler. Frustratingly, there are few leads or clues as to who’s responsible for the murders of 51 women (that we know of) over the past 2 decades. We focus on the  timelines, facts, family members, and of course, the 51 victims.
