Episode 150- Down on Skid Row
Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. Today, we're looking at the Skid Row Stabber. In the 1970s, a killer was on the loose. They stabbed 13 men, killing 11 of them in the area of Los Angeles known as Skid Row. LAPD focused on a single suspect, imprisoning him. The verdict was overturned 40 years later. Who were the victims of the Skid Row Stabber? Why did the LAPD focus on one man? Why was the conviction overturned? Listen in to find out!
