Summary

Episode 76 Leslie Perlov and Janet Taylor Part 1 of 2 

 

In 1973, Leslie Perlov, Stanford graduate and Stanford Law Library clerk, was found slain in the hills overlooking the Stanford campus. In 1974, it happened again. Janet Taylor was found in a roadside ditch, after hitchhiking on the Stanford campus.  The similarities between the two cases were startling, down to the identical ages of the victims.  Investigators were so desperate for suspects, they interviewed the likes of Ed Kemper and Ted Bundy.  But those famed serial killers weren’t involved in the Stanford murders – another serial killer was, one who was as of yet unknown – one who also had ties to Stanford.  When forensic genealogy revealed his name, people who knew him were shocked.  But women who had survived his predatory behavior were not - they knew what John Arthur Getreu was capable of.
