About this listen
For nearly fifty years, two cold cases haunted the Stanford community.
In 1973 and 1974, 21-year-olds Leslie Perlov and Janet Taylor were brutally murdered near the university campus. Both were strangled. Both cases went unsolved—until modern forensic genealogy exposed a killer hiding in plain sight.
John Arthur Getreu seemed like an ordinary man. A community volunteer. A Scout leader. A father and husband. But beneath the surface, he was a serial predator with a dark history stretching back to 1963, when he raped and murdered a teenage girl in West Germany while still in high school.
We unpack the chilling life of John Getreu—from his early crimes abroad to the murders he committed on American soil. We follow the women whose lives he stole, the families left searching for answers, and the decades-long silence shattered by a single strand of DNA.
This is a story of justice delayed, but not denied. Of women remembered, and secrets finally brought to light.
