Summary
Season 15, Episode 4
Charles “Smitty” Schmid
Life magazine wrote a cover story about Charles “Smitty” Schmid in March 1967 describing teenagers as basically animals that race, do drugs, have sex, and will never “snitch” on anyone--even a 22-year-old pedophile Creep who wears heavy makeup and killed one of their schoolmates. This story is about a man dubbed the “Pied Piper of Tucson” who acted like a murderous Wooderson.
Trigger warnings: murder, sexual assault, and animal abuse
