Crime Adjacent

How serial killers get their names


Listen Later

The same thing that happened in California, in the 1980s, happened in Northern Michigan. Residents wondered: What do we call this guy?

In the beginning, he broke into cabins and rubbed women's feet while wearing a creepy Halloween clown mask. So he became known as the Clown Creeper.

But when he started to murder people, a new name emerged: the Nightstalker. Specifically, the Michigan Nightstalker, to distinguish him from two different serial killers operating in California who were both called the Nightstalker.

Whatever people called him, Sheriff Press knew she had to catch him, fast. And finally, she had a real name of the man behind it all.

This is part 15 of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.
