S3 Ep18: The Texarkana Moonlight Murders

After seeing a movie together on February 22nd in 1946, Jimmy Hollis and his girlfriend Mary Jeanne Larey parked on a secluded road known as a lovers' lane. Just minutes later, a man in a white mask forced them out of their car, struck them both with blunt force objects, and sexually assaulted Larey. Luckily both Hollis and Larey made it out alive, but future victims would not be so lucky. In today's episode we dive into the four violent attacks known as the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, and how the mystery surrounding the so-called Phantom Killer created such mass hysteria.
