In this episode, Emily covers the elusive Phantom Killer, who committed frightening attacks on young couples parked on lovers lanes and induced extreme mayhem among residents in the town of Texarkana, Texas in 1946. Then Elisha covers a disturbing case she remembers from when she first moved to Sydney in 2010 - the depraved murder of a defenseless 6 year-old girl.

Photos from both cases are up on our social media if you’re a visual person (like we are) and need to see where the crime went down. You can also find them on our website, in the Episode Discovery file.
