In the early morning of October 1st 1979, a terrified woman laid on the floor of her living room, her heart beating out of her chest.

Her hands were bound and her boyfriend was tied up in the bedroom.

She could hear the mask dropper rummaging through her kitchen.

He said he was only there for money,

but as calm demeanor made her suspect he wanted something more,

something much worse.

She feverishly wiggled her wrists trying with all her might to break the knot until finally

it broke.

Her eyes shot towards the kitchen. The robber stood, eating food, facing

the other direction. She leapt to her feet and sprinted for the door. She burst into the open air, screaming her lungs out,

attempting to wake the neighbors.

She saw the lights flash on in the houses around her

and turned her head.

To see the masked man fleeing in the other direction.

She had done it. She had escaped from the Golden State Killer. killer. Hi, I'm Greg Paulson. This is Serial Killers, a parcast original. Every episode, we dive
