Description

You guys, we've got a serial killer case on our hands! This week Megan takes a DEEP dive into a midwest nightmare. Between 1982 and 1984, dozens of teenage boys and young men in Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky were brutally assaulted and killed. At least 21 victims died at the hands of Larry Eyler, who was dubbed the Interstate Killer. Buckle up because this is a long one! We're going to talk about news coverage, a potential accomplice, Kathleen Zellner, and the badass woman (plus the police task force) that helped bring down this serial killer.
