Summary
In November 2001, 43-year-old Diane Holik was trying to sell her house in Austin, Texas. She had plans to move in with her fiance, Dennis, in Houston. What Diane didn't know was that there was a predator in the area posing as an interested home buyer. A fateful encounter with this predator resulted in Diane's murder.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Patrick Anthony Russo. Russo had a terrible childhood and a lengthy criminal record, which included a stint in prison. By 2001, Russo was a husband and father and was highly involved with his church. But, Patrick Russo had a burning desire hidden within that involved asphyxiation for sexual gratification. He began searching for victims by posing as an interested home buyer.
