Episode 377: The Towpath Murders

Morbid Network | Wondery
About this episode

Alaina brings us the case of the Tow Path Murders this week and boy is this case a doozy. Two girls just riding their bikes along the path were abruptly assaulted, brutally raped and then killed. Just weeks before that a young girl walking along the trail had been raped. Police quickly connected the dots and were luckily able to get the attacker behind bars pretty quickly, but the question remained: was his confession a fake?
