In this episode of Fatal Blend, Jay and Tee head to Tampa, Florida, to explore the disturbing case of Bobby Joe Long, a serial killer who terrorized the area in 1984.
As investigators worked to connect a series of murders, forensic evidence began to reveal a link between the victims. But it was the survival and incredible courage of 17-year-old Lisa McVey that helped lead authorities to Long and bring his crimes to light.
