Summary

The media in Columbus, Georgia gave the name "The Stocking Strangler" to a serial killer in the area that preyed on elderly white women in 1978. In April of that year, a local newspaper and the police began receiving letters from an alleged vigilante group calling themselves "The Forces of Evil." This group warned that if the Stocking Strangler didn't stop killing caucasian "grannies" the Forces of Evil would begin killing African-American women. Within a few days, the brutal body of their first victim was discovered.
