The Binge: Free Shelley Jensen

What would you do if someone you knew turned out to be a serial killer?

In the 1970s, Steve Fishman was an intern at his local newspaper. One day, he hitched a ride back home from Boston with a kind stranger who graciously picked him up and dropped him off at his destination. What Steve didn’t know however, was that this stranger was hiding a dark secret: by the time he picked up Steve, he had already killed three people - all hitchhikers.

But this fateful ride was just the beginning of Steve’s story. While this may have been the first time Steve met the man he’d come to know as Red, it wouldn’t be the last…

Featuring exclusive interviews and never-before-heard tapes, join Steve as he tells his chilling story for the first time and unravels the lingering questions surrounding this wild chapter of his life. Why did Steve get spared by the killer during their first meeting? And what could have possibly driven Steve back to the same killer he had just escaped?

On March 2, 2018, an anonymous and deadly package bomb detonated on the doorstep of a home in Austin, Texas.

Then, another was discovered, and another. Each one a little more sophisticated than the last, and each target seemingly more and more random, igniting confusion and fear across the city.

With just days before hundreds of thousands of people would arrive for the South by Southwest Festival, and no leads, the city’s bomb squad faced a challenge unlike anything else in their department’s history.

This is the thrilling, true story of the 19 days of terror that settled over one of the fastest growing cities in the world at one of its busiest times told by the law enforcement, victims, journalists, and residents who witnessed it.
