127: Texarkana Moonlight Murders Part 3: Spicy Cat
“We did it, Joe. We did it!” — Kamala Harris, and also us, apparently, because after three episodes, countless suspects, questionable police work, and approximately one million pages of research, we have FINALLY made it to the end of the Texarkana Moonlight Murders. Are we okay? Debatable. But we made it. In the final installment of our three-part series, we're digging into the troubled investigation, questionable evidence, false confessions, and the suspects who may have been hiding behind the Phantom Killer's mask. From a publicity-loving Texas Ranger to a chilling confession discovered years after the murders, we'll explore the leads that brought investigators tantalizingly close to answers, and the mistakes that may have allowed a killer to escape justice. We'll also examine the eerie parallels to the Zodiac Killer, what became of the survivors, and how a real-life nightmare inspired a horror movie and became the stuff of legend. Nearly eight decades later, the Phantom Killer's identity remains a mystery. Was the truth buried in the evidence all along, or did someone get away with murder? Join us for the conclusion of the Texarkana Moonlight Murders.

Episode 126: Personal Scream: The Texarkana Moonlight Murders Part 2
The Phantom Killer has already left a trail of bloodshed across Texarkana, and with four people murdered and no suspect in custody, fear is beginning to consume the community. But the nightmare is far from over. In Part Two of our three-part series on the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, we continue unraveling the terrifying events of 1946. As residents arm themselves and law enforcement scrambles to catch a killer who seems to vanish into thin air, another brutal attack changes everything. This time, the violence comes not to a secluded lovers' lane, but to a quiet farmhouse where a husband and wife are spending an ordinary evening at home. With a different weapon, a surviving witness, and a crime that breaks the killer's established pattern, investigators are left with an unsettling question: was the Phantom Killer responsible, or was someone else taking advantage of a town already living in fear?

Some places come with warnings, and some warnings are better left untested. In this episode, we’re traveling around the world to four places with reputations for something darker than being haunted. From a Thai island where visitors mail stolen stones back after their luck turns bad, to an Italian island surrounded by tragedy, a Czech castle allegedly built over a gateway to Hell, and a remote Canadian wilderness where prospectors vanished or were found dead, each location has earned its own unsettling legend. Are these places truly cursed, or are we seeing coincidence, danger, history, and folklore tangled together over generations?

Then, months later, Aaron’s belongings begin turning up miles from where anyone expected him to be, followed by the discovery that would finally reveal his fate.
