There was nothing particularly unusual about the morning of February 16, 1997. Sarah Jackson didn’t usually work Sundays at Captain D’s seafood restaurant. The 16-year-old was a devoted churchgoer. On this day, however, Sarah had agreed to help her manager Steve Hampton open. When Sarah agreed to work that Sunday, she couldn’t have possibly known it would be her last shift ever. A gun toting man disrupted Sarah’s shift, shattering many lives in an instant. The violence unleashed on Nashville by The Fast Food Killer didn’t stop there. Before long, investigators would discover the assailant’s story didn’t start there either. By the end of the brutal crime wave, seven people would be dead, and several more potentially linked to the same killer.
