Summary

In this episode Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna speak about serial killer Joseph Naso, AKA the alphabet killer. Naso was convicted for four murders between the years of 1977 - 1994 in Northern California. All four victims each have first names and last names with letters that matched: Roxene Roggasch, Carmen Colon, Pamela Parsons and Tracy Tafoya. We also discuss the unsolved murder Sheila Shepherd as it related to the possibility of Naso being a suspect. Naso would've been around 46 years old when Sheila Shepherd was murdered inside her apartment in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1980. We have covered her case extensively on this show.
