Larry Eyler

About this episode

Based on Eyler’s own confessions, authorities believe he may have killed as many as 23 young men in the early 1980s throughout the Midwest. The problem with Larry’s confessions is that he either didn’t know or couldn’t remember names.

Eyler targeted homosexual men and would cruise around in his truck looking for male hitchhikers or would frequent gay bars in different cities looking for targets.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the facts surrounding these murders committed by Larry Eyler. Did he act alone or did he have an accomplice or two as he would later claim? Did the police give these murders the top priority that they deserved?
