AUDIOCHUCK
About this episode

In the 1980s the Denver area was terrorized by a hammer-wielding mad man. But as fast as the attacks started, they suddenly stopped. Leaving the area to wonder if the mad man was dead or had moved on to another place. Once answers came, decades later the public would learn that the truth was much more concerning.
