Summary

On this episode of Wife of Crime I'm telling Russ the weird case of the Craigslist Killer. A young medical student with a fiancée, a future, and the kind of life people envy is suddenly arrested in connection to a series of terrifying crimes linked to Craigslist. What begins as a shocking highway arrest quickly unravels into a story about hidden identities, double lives, and the terrifying reality that sometimes the most dangerous people are the ones who look the most ordinary.
