Summary

1996 - Brewer, Maine. In 1996, Lynn Willette, a maintenance worker in Brewer, Maine went missing... her boyfriend? Convicted murderer James Hicks. Police can't pin him down for the crime, so he flees the state in search of a normal life. But the underlying rage of a dangerous man can’t stay quiet for long, and a nightmare was about to be unleashed on a sleepy Texas town. This is the story of James Hicks, the serial killer next door that you've never heard of, and the three innocent women who got tangled up in a web they couldn't escape. Special thanks to Police Chief Jim Ricker for sharing his first hand account. All sources for this episode can be found on murdershetold.com.
