In this episode, we delve into the chilling case of “The Doodler,” a serial killer who targeted gay men in 1970s San Francisco. We explore the intersecting challenges of police neglect, community fear, and societal stigma that allowed this predator to evade justice for decades. This episode also highlights the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and the importance of support systems like the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for those facing trauma and discrimination.

Join us as we shine a light on this obscured crime, and don’t forget to come back next Monday for another deep dive into a forgotten case that deserves to be heard.

Welcome to a little bonus episode I have for you with my little brother, James. He is here to bring us some facts about crimes against the LGBTQIA+/SAGA community and hate crimes in the US. I have brought 2 tragic stories of murdered women from the community. Today we will hear the stories of Rebecca Wright 1988 and Redd aka Barbie 2024. Tune in next Monday for another tragic obscured crime.
