Listener, rummaging through these old, discarded newspapers, it paints a picture for me. The image is of a community left in a state of terror. In which a man stretched his arm, and the people of Okaloosa recoiled. And this man, this monster was acting fast. But what he didn’t know is that investigators were on his tail.

Or someone discarded on the beach.Obscura - A True Crime Podcast | PatreonOur Patreon has been overhauled. Click the link to discover our new tiers.
