Join David Culpepper as he explores the verified attacks, the possible victims, the prime suspects, and the lasting impact of one of America's most notorious unsolved cases. From the Lake Herman Road murders to the breaking of the 340 cipher in 2020, this episode unravels the complex web of a killer who wanted not just to take lives, but to live forever in our collective imagination.
