Episode 144: The Phantom Killer and Other Unsolved Crimes


Listen Later

This week, Steve takes a look at a trio of unsolved murders. First is a serial killer who stalked the mean streets of… Texarcana? Then the stalker-murderer whose phone etiquette was just the worst.

We finish with the killing of a Hollywood icon that hit (or started) just about every cliché in the murder-a-famous-person book. 

Content Warning: Obviously this week's episode discusses violent crimes. Some of these crimes occur against women, and one specifically includes a stalking-kidnap-murder.
