About this listen


Between 1971 and 1972, six young girls vanished from Washington, D.C.


Their bodies were found along the highways leading out of the city — discarded like they didn’t matter. The press called him The Freeway Phantom: a predator who hunted the streets of Anacostia and Prince George’s County, targeting children and leaving behind a single, taunting note.


This episode unravels the terrifying sixteen-month killing spree that paralysed the U.S. capital, the massive multi-agency investigation that followed, and the half-century of silence that still hangs over one of America’s most disturbing unsolved serial murders.
