About this episode

Billy Mansfield Jr murdered at least five women and girls in the late 1970s and into 1980. He committed his murders in multiple states. He was finally caught in California for the murder of Renae Saling. As his trial was about to start, police in Florida began unearthing bodies buried at the Mansfield family Home.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murderous Billy Mansfield Jr. Billy's father, William, was a terrible man in his own right. In 1980, William was convicted on a number of charges related to sexual crimes against children. How much did Billy learn from his father's actions growing up? And, just exactly how many victims could Billy Mansfield Jr have over the years?
