Ep 44 - The Miami Strangler

Between nineteen sixty four and nineteen seventy, a ghost haunted the sun-drenched streets of Miami. He left behind a trail of at least nine victims, each one a chilling testament to his brutality. In modern true crime circles, he’s known as The Miami Strangler, but back then, the press didn't have a single, tidy name for him. To the police, he was a baffling series of clues and multiple suspects, with one major problem: the killer didn't seem to exist. He was a phantom, a whisper in the humid Florida air, a force that struck with terrifying randomness and then just… dissolved back into the city's shadows. This is the story of how he got away with it.
