About this listen

In 1967, during the time of peace, free love, and hitchhiking, 19-year-old Mary Terese Fleszar was last seen walking home to her apartment in Ypsilanti, Michigan. One month later, her naked body stabbed over 30 times and missing both feet and a forearm was discovered on an abandoned farm. A year later, the body of 20-year-old Joan Schell was found, similarly violated.

Over the next two years, five more bodies of female students were uncovered around the area. In the wake of these murders, southeastern Michigan was terrorized by something it had never experienced before: a serial killer. But after multiple failed investigations, a chance sighting finally led to a suspect: an all-American boy studying elementary education at Eastern Michigan University who wasn't all that he seemed.

Very interesting, well-written and well-told story. This serial killer hasn't had as much coverage as others but is without a doubt equally as disturbing.

Thoroughly good true crime read

If I have to hear the word "panties" one more time I think I'll go blind. I didn't finish listening to this book due to the overuse of this cringe-inducing word.
The victim is given no regard when this word is thrown about repeatedly.
