This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of Homer Lee Jackson III, a black man accused of killing at least 5 women in Portland, Oregon in the 80’s and 90’s.

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little)

First, we dive into the setting (06:51), the killers early life (18:50) and the timeline (20:25).  Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (31:11), "Where are they now?" followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (46:00).  

As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (51:55). 

This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy and Beth Williams.

Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop every Thursday, so until next time... look alive guys, it's crazy out there!

Carol Costello Present: Blind Rage.

In this podcast, journalist Carol Costello revisits the first big assignment she covered as a 22-year-old, novice reporter: Phyllis Cottles’ brutal attack. Psychologists call them “Triumphant Survivors,” but Phyllis Cottle was more than a survivor, she used this crime to better herself and the world around her.
