Larry and Danny Ranes Part 2

Emash Digital / Wondery
About this episode

Larry and Danny Ranes were serial killer brothers who primarily targeted victims near Kalamazoo, Michigan. Larry and Danny were suspected of committing multiple murders. Danny enlisted the help of a teenage accomplice named Brent Koster in some of his crimes

Join Mike and Gibby for this second and last episode on Larry and Danny Ranes. What makes the Ranes brothers unique is that they killed victims independently. This is thought to be the only known instance in US history where one family produced two serial killers at separate times in unrelated incidents. We cover the rest of the investigation, the trials of Danny and Brent Koster, and the headlines the brothers made in later years.
