Show Notes
Every night in the city, there are people out looking for something. Usually it’s just fun and excitement, but there are also those who go out looking to fulfill darker desires, who view the night city as a hunting ground where they will get what they want, no matter what. And sometimes, what they want is a nightmare of pain and suffering that shocks the conscience.
Note: This episode is about a serial killer, and the descriptions of his crimes are more graphic than most. Listener discretion is advised.
