The creators of 'In the Shadow of Princeton' and 'Father Wants Us Dead' bring you a new true crime series about a serial killer you've never heard of and the women who took him down: Someone's Hunting Us.
In 2016, a serial killer was preying on Black women and girls he thought no one would miss — and getting away with it. Police in New Jersey never suspected that Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, a nerdy-looking, polite young man from a law enforcement family, was the one stalking the streets and dating apps for his next target.
Like 'Father Wants Us Dead' — called one of the best true crime podcasts of all time by Entertainment Weekly — 'Someone's Hunting Us' is a deeply-reported story that honors the victims, investigates the investigators and gets inside the mind of a killer that fooled everyone.

Is there ever going to be a second episode??? It’s been 2 months.
Looking forward to this one. I graduated in 1986 and was on campus for reunions in late May 1989. I can't recall if I knew of this story.
