About this listen
In August 2010, Elias Abuelazam was arrested at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport while attempting to flee to Israel after a brutal stabbing spree that terrorized Flint, Michigan. The serial killer murdered at least five men and attacked nine others across Michigan, Virginia, and Ohio between May and August 2010, targeting primarily African American men in what became known as the Flint Serial Slasher case. Arnold Minor, a 49-year-old handyman, became a key murder victim when investigators found his blood on Abuelazam's steering wheel and clothing.
This is the story of a predator who weaponized kindness. Elias Abuelazam drove through the struggling streets of Flint in his green Chevy TrailBlazer, pretending he needed help with directions or car trouble. When Good Samaritans approached his window, he stabbed them and drove away. Five families lost someone they loved. Nine survivors carry physical and emotional scars that will never fully heal. The case connects to an earlier unsolved murder in Virginia and a violent assault in Israel, painting a picture of escalating violence that spanned continents. We'll walk through the investigation that finally caught him, the controversial insanity defense that failed, and the decision to suspend additional trials that left many families without full closure.
