The curse of Speedway, part 2 brings us the infamous (and still unsolved!) Burger Chef murders, an avoidable jet crash, way too many serial killers with nearly identical names, and one of the most horrific crimes in Indianapolis. And, surprise! We’ve got our first 3-parter, so we’ll wrap up our discussion on Speedway next week with two more tragedies, honorable mentions, and theories. You won’t want to miss it.
