115. Sounds Like Too Many Coincidences - The Flat Tire Murders
In 1975 a series of murders of young women in Dade and Broward Counties in South Florida baffled police. They were dubbed the "Flat Tire Murders" because evidence strongly suggested that tires on the victims' cars were deflated as they shopped or were otherwise away from their vehicles - and then "assisted" by the killer when they returned. But wait just a second. Officially, the still-unsolved Flat Tire Murder investigation names five - 5 - victims of the killing spree. But as Melissa discusses in this fascinating episode, there were at least five additional women killed under similar circumstances, all in the same South Florida area during the same period - and there are indications that this same serial madman may have been responsible for up to 30 additional murders. And to make it all even that much more mind-bending, there's more than just a hint of a suggestion that one or more of the slayings could very well have been the work of a certain truly devious - and infamous - evil-doer.
