Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying stories that are worthy of a more in-depth look. For this week, we focus on the arrest of the notorious Potomac River Rapist and the mysterious disappearance and death of virtuoso coder, Jerold Haas. Get ready for Scary Mysteries, Twisted Two’s.Potomac River ArrestChristine Mirzayan was a 29-year old student intern at the National Academy of Sciences at Georgetown, Washington D.C. On August 1, 1998, she attended a cookout and was walking home from the event when she was viciously attacked. Christine was pulled into a wooded area, viciously raped, then beaten to death using a 73-pound rock. Although a man had heard Christine scream and called back to ask if she was okay, he never heard back so he continued on. The following day, Christine’s body was found. Another person later came forward offering a description of the man they saw running from the woods after hearing the scream. This description was enough to create a composite sketch of the suspect. During the investigation, it was clear Christine wasn’t the first victim. Before her, 9 other women in the Maryland and D.C. area had also been viciously attacked and raped. This included an 18-year old babysitter as well as a mother whose infant child was with her during the assault. Many of the victims were attacked inside their homes and seven of the nine were all linked using DNA. Only Christine Mirzayan was murdered.Jerold HaasJerold Haas was described as being on the “brink of riches” as his company, Tessr, gained buzz for using blockchain technology to help streamline data sharing for higher education. But instead of riches, Jerold Haas’ skeletal remains were found on November 3, 2018, inside a forest just north of Clarksville, Ohio. The virtuoso coder was first reported missing on September 17, seven weeks before his body turned up. Haas lived in Columbus, Ohio but was last seen at a gas station, just one county over from where his remains were discovered.Police identified the body using the wallet found in his pants. They also later compared his dental records. There were no signs of foul play - no weapons or anything that might lead investigators to believe he was murdered. However, they did note Haas’ backpack was nowhere in sight. It was a black backpack containing many of the things he used for business, including two laptops, three smartphones, a tablet, and various USB sticks and cables.Support the show
