Show Notes

From 1971 to 1972, a serial killer who called himself the Freeway Phantom killed at least six Black girls in D.C. and terrorized their families and communities. He was never caught, but veteran journalist Celeste Headlee thinks someone out there knows something, and she’s trying to get justice.


Listen to Celeste’s podcast The Freeway Phantom for a deeper dive into this story. Episodes drop every Wednesday.
