In the 1970s, a serial killer was running rampant, crisscrossing the country murdering young women and girls in California, Wyoming, and New York City...and probably more. The cops had nothing to go on. And little did they know that the killer was hiding in plain sight and even appeared on the popular TV show "The Dating Game" WHERE. HE. WON. THE. SHOW. AND. A . DATE.

On a February night in 1994, Lamar Woods came home. The door to his apartment was open and his 10 month old son was screaming. In the bedroom, Lamar found his girlfriend, Brandi Henderson, brutally murdered. For a local detective, the murder sounded eerily similar to other killings that had happened in the area in recent years. It was clear that a serial killer was on the loose and it was only a matter of time until he killed again. OUR MERCH STORE IS OPEN!

The text messages came often and always went something like this: "My favorite thing to do is stand outside and stare at you," or "I hate you so much, I want to drive a knife into your heart." The texts were sent to Dave and to his ex-girlfriend Liz. The texts came from Kari, who was stalking them both, but who nobody had physically seen in over a year. It was a love triangle, that could only end one way: Murder. LOOKING FOR MORE TCO? On our Patreon feed, you'll find over 200 FULL BONUS episodes to BINGE RIGHT NOW!

June 22, 1990. 2:00 am. The phone rings at Gayle and Kay Baker's house in the San Fernando Valley. "We have your son. Unless you give us $100,000 by 5pm, he will die." At first they thought it was a joke. But when the man called back in the morning with the same demand, they knew 21-year-old son was in trouble. Later that day, the police would call the Bakers to tell them their son had been found. Dead. Murdered in the infamous "Manson Tunnel" outside of LA. But who could have done this?

FAM!! We're doing that thing we do, like, twice a year, and giving ourselves a Tuesday "off" (read: not off, ever off, always working, lol), so we're replaying a favorite episode. BUT DON'T WORRY, YOU'RE GETTING AN ALL NEW DATELINE EPISODE ON THURSDAY!! From 1974 – 1991, a serial killer tormented the people of Kansas. He called himself BTK, which stood for BIND, TORTURE, KILL. He wanted to incite fear and panic, and so his killings were especially brutal. He taunted police with postcards, letters, and voice messages, but no matter how many clues the madman gave them, they still couldn’t catch him. But then, in 2005, after 10 murders and more three decades of terrorizing the locals, they got him. And suddenly it was clear how he’d managed to hide in plain sight for so long.
