Summary

The I-70 killer, whose identity remains unknown, murdered at least six people in 1992. But there could be more victims out there.

In this episode we speak with Michael Crooke, an Indianapolis detective who worked on one of the cases definitively linked to the serial killer. We'll get into topics like the possible link between this series and the murders committed by Harry Edward Greenwell, the I-65 Killer, and the possibility that cases like the 1991 murder of Hardee's employee Peggy Cox could be connected.

We would like to welcome our new sponsor, Better Help.
