In 1984, over 12 days, several brutal attacks took place in Colorado. An unknown man striking randomly and using a hammer to bludgeon his victims. And the attacker was escalating quickly. Sadly, the cases would go gold for decades. Then, in 2018, a new law in a different state helped to break the case wide open. Join Olivia Cornu and John Conner as they dive deep into the dark to discuss the "Hammer Killer," Alex Christopher Ewing. Will this case be enough to make you check the locks?
