Frightful

43: The Chicago Ripper Crew, Part 2


Listen Later

Is there anything more Frightful than a serial killer stalking your neighbourhood, picking victims at random, abducting, assaulting, mutilating and killing them. What about four killers, doing exactly that…but working together…as a team.

This is one of the most disturbing true crime cases I’ve ever covered for this podcast, and yet it doesn’t seem particularly well known.

Prepare yourself for a two-part episode featuring a brutal, distressing series of ritualistic murders that shocked Chicago in the early 1980s. Be warned, the details in this, will disturb you.

I’m Peter Laws, and tonight on Frightful, ‘The Chicago Ripper Crew'

TRIGGER WARNING: Both parts contain distressing details of murder and sexual crimes.
