Was Retha Stratton's tragic murder the deadly climax of a serial rapist's reign of terror? This episode explores the brutal killing of the 18-year-old in River Oaks, Texas, and suggests her murder may have been a desperate act to silence a potential witness. As we unravel the chilling details of Retha's last moments, from the stab wounds to the defensive injuries, we grapple with the implications of a predator escalating from assault to murder within a tight-knit community. We also delve into the psychological terror unleashed by a series of unsolved sexual assaults that had already placed River Oaks on edge.

Join us as we navigate the twisted path of Wesley Miller, the man who shocked River Oaks with his violent tendencies. Through an anonymous tip and disturbing evidence, we piece together how Miller's dark history and lack of remorse led to Retha's untimely death. We scrutinize the justice system that handed down lenient sentences for his past crimes, and the community's struggle to come to terms with the seemingly inadequate justice served for Reetha's murder. This episode seeks to understand not only the tragic events but the broader societal issues revealed by the case of a serial offender left unchecked.
