Summary

What's better than a conspiracy theory or a murder? A conspiracy theory combined with a murder! Sara talks to retired NYPD Detectives Kevin Gannon, Anthony Duarte, and Mike Donovan about the Smiley Face Killers, who they believe are an organized gang targeting white college-aged men. Here's the deal. Not everyone is convinced the scores of young men who have drowned over the past 12 years are connected, even though Gannon, Duarte, and Donovan argue that the writing is on the wall—literally. After investigating each case, they claim they've found distinct smiley face graffiti near all the locations where the bodies were found. So what is the truth? Listen to the interview and decide for yourself, then tune in to Smiley Face Killers: The Hunt For Justice on January 19 on Oxygen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
