Gainesville, 1990 -- On this week in true crime history, the Gainesville Ripper terrorized a college town in Florida, targeting students just as the new school year was getting started. As the killer's murderous spree kicked off, students made a mass exodus back home to be with their families. Those who remained in town were under a strict curfew, classes were canceled, and young people would have group sleepovers for safety. Angelina and Aurora will fill you in on the identity of the Ripper, his MO, and why this story sounds so familiar!

Writing and research by Angelina Villeseche.
