Paul Bateson

About this episode

In 1973 Paul Bateson appeared as an extra in the famous film The Exorcist. Four years later, he was arrested for the murder of Addison Verrill, a well-known Variety reporter. At his sentencing hearing, the prosecutor accused Paul Bateson of being responsible for the unsolved “bag murders” of six men in New York City.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Paul Bateson. The evidence against him for the murder of Addison Verrill was pretty compelling. But, there seems to be little to no evidence against him for the bag murders. But, that didn't stop prosecutors from going after him for those murders as well.
