Before the term serial killer ever entered the lexicon, murderers and rapists who committed more than one crime were often given the name "Jack the..." . The world only had Jack the Ripper to use as a guide to killers who commit multiple murders. In the 1900's the city of Dayton had one such killer on their hands. This is the story of one man who terrorized the city for 10 years. 

TRIGGER WARNING -- this episode does cover rape and murder, and some of these heinous crimes are committed against children. We tried to keep the details limited, but these topics can be rough for some.

Peace, love, happiness, and weed. That's what the Hippie Trail was about, until one man realized he could exploit the trusting nature of the travelers. We will never know exactly how many people he killed. 

This is the story of really bad police work and really great police work. When two detectives fail to do their job the right way a serial rapist is allowed to continue to reign terror on women in 2 states. It took a task force to put it all together and track him down.
