In 2005 and 2006, Phoenix was overtaken by fear as a series of sudden, violent attacks spread across the city. People were assaulted, robbed, kidnapped, and killed in parking lots, gas stations, restaurants, and quiet neighborhoods. There was no pattern, no specific victim type, and no warning, making everyday life feel dangerous.As the attacks escalated, police realized they were hunting one person responsible for dozens of crimes. The suspect became known as the Baseline Killer, a man who moved quickly, changed disguises, and struck without predictability. Despite a massive investigation, he continued attacking for more than a year.The case finally broke when DNA from an early assault produced a match and a survivor recognized the suspect from a police sketch. Investigators arrested Mark Goudeau, who was later convicted of nine murders and dozens of other crimes, bringing one of Arizona’s most terrifying crime sprees to an end.#TrueCrimeRecaps #BaselineKiller #PhoenixCrime #MarkGoudeau #ColdCaseSolved
