Summary

On this episode, Payton discusses the multiple murders where bodies were dumped in Florida's canals. Was this the work of one serial killer? Or multiple killers?

Hello everyone and welcome back to the podcast.

0:25.1

Well, if you are watching on YouTube,

0:27.1

you may have noticed that my artwork has changed a little bit.

0:31.7

And don't worry, it's still the same old podcast.

0:35.2

We just had a little bit of a change because I want to do broader things than just

0:40.2

binge on here. And so no worries, I didn't mean to alarm you, but that's what's going on.

0:46.1

This week's episode will be exploring another under the radar serial murder case that remains

mostly unsolved. And I say mostly because at least one of today's murder cases did have at

1:43.0

of the story that's missing. So it becomes an anthology of sorts with each crime, each victim,

1:50.0

its own story. And if there's a theme in today's stories, it's the absolutely appalling way

1:57.2

that law enforcement in Broward County, Florida in the mid 70s characterized many of these victims.

2:05.1

This series has been alternately called the canal killings, the flat tire murders,

2:11.2

and most significantly the lifestyle murders. And that's because investigators laid part of the blame

2:18.1

on the victims themselves for their so-called lifestyle. Today's episode takes us back to one of
