(S2) Kingstree, South Carolina (William Junior Pierce)

*This is a listener FAVORITE from Season 2. We are using a new format and recording style for Season 3 and beyond. We have kept this episode on the main feed as it was one that the listeners loved.In May 1970, William "Junior" Pierce was paroled from the Georgia state prison at Reidsville, despite a report from staff psychiatrists contending that he "may be dangerous to himself and others." The parole board chose to ignore that report, and Pierce claimed his first victim a month later, killing at least nine persons before his arrest, on March 8, 1971. Heather is joined by Bad in the Boondocks Podcast for another South Carolina killer!SourcesMichael Newton - An Encyclopedia of Modern Serial Killers - Hunting Humanshttps://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/tv/a28759786/william-junior-pierce-mindhunter-true-story/ https://murderpedia.org/male.P/p/pierce-william.htm https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/08/240823/who-is-real-william-junior-pierce-from-mindhunter https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a28759373/who-is-william-junior-pierce/ https://www.bustle.com/p/photos-of-the-real-william-pierce-show-mindhunter-season-2-got-all-the-details-right-18663622 Crimelibrary.com
