321: Frank Figliuzzi – Highway Serial Ki...

Jerri Williams
About this episode

Retired agent Frank Figliuzzi reviews the FBI's Highway Serial Killings Initiative, a special unit that tracks the victims of serial murderers picked up at truck stops in one jurisdiction, sexually assaulted and murdered in another, and dumped along a highway in a third location. Frank shares how the transient nature of the offenders and the multiple jurisdictions involved make these cases incredibly difficult to solve and his journey to learn more about the victims and better understand the life of a trucker in his new book, Long Haul: Hunting the Highway Serial Killers. Retired agent Frank Figliuzzi served 25 years in the FBI.
