About this episode

Eddie Lee Mosley had a very low IQ and didn't make it past the 3rd grade. He worked some low-paying jobs but eventually turned to crime. He was convicted of an armed robbery at the age of 18. By 1973, Mosley was suspected of at least one murder and almost 100 rapes in the Northwest part of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the prolific predator Eddie Lee Mosley. He is definitely one of the worst killers in the history of Fort Lauderdale, and may very well be one of the worst predators in the history of Florida. Two different individuals, Eddie Smith and Jerry Townsend were imprisoned for some of Mosley's murders. Each of those convictions resulted from false confessions. Many people have said that police ignored the criminal actions of Eddie Mosley because of the area in which he operated. They believe that police didn't want to spend the amount of time in Northwest Fort Lauderdale that it would have taken to solve all of these crimes. Authorities believe that Mosley could be responsible for as many as 30 murders and well over 100 rapes.
