Episode 129 - Redhead Murders

Grip Tape
About this episode
In the mid-1980s, numerous bodies were discovered along the highways of the American South over the course of several years. They were all women. They all had red hair. And all of them had been murdered.

This is a unique case unlike any other we’ve ever told. Because it involves a podcast host who went beyond what you’d normally expect of a podcaster.
