Summary

It seems like no one heard about the Bible Belt Strangler or his string of murders known as the Redhead Murders. 35 years ago across Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, and West Virginia, this serial killer strangled 6 women - 5 of whom remain Jane Doe’s to this day. A podcaster and a high school sociology class saw these women had no family fighting for them - so they stepped in to be their family. From putting wooden crosses in the ground, all the way to a press conference - this is an episode devoted to the series being covered on ‘Out of the Shadows’ as well as sharing the effort and impact of the sociology class at Elizabethton High School in Tennessee.
