Blackbird “Prospects” - The Extremely Unsettling Case of Serial Killer Larry Hall (Part 1 of 2)
In the spring of 1993, a 19-year-old college student walked to the grocery store to buy a root beer and a magazine. She never made it back to her dorm. That same year, a 15-year-old girl rode her brand-new bicycle down a country road in Georgetown, Illinois. Her sister passed her on the road and waved. Thirty minutes later, the bike was lying in the middle of the road. The gravel around it was disturbed. The girl was gone. Their names were Tricia Reitler and Jessica Roach. And the man responsible spent every weekend dressed as a Civil War soldier — driving a van packed with rope, duct tape, leather belts, and handwritten notes that read: "Seen some prospects." This week we cover Larry DeWayne Hall. The gravedigger's son. The man in the van. The real story behind Apple TV's Black Bird — and everything the show left out. Buckle up.
