Summary

"This is tantamount to my insensitivity to people, especially women. I will admit the others when you catch me if you can!" (Freeway Phantom)

In 1971 and 1972, a deadly predator stalked the streets of the nation’s capital. His targets were young girls who he kidnapped, raped, and left their remains along busy roadways in plain view.

Some of his victims he held captive for days, others only a few minutes. Seven victims ranging from the ages of 10 to 18 died in his hands. Then, as mysteriously as he started, the Freeway Phantom stopped.

On one victim, he left a note, taunting the police and confirming the name the media gave him: the Freeway Phantom. 

Now, after nearly five decades, Washington DC’s oldest unsolved serial killing spree is pried open with the suspects, the liars, and the evidence laid bare. Father-daughter duo and best-selling authors Blaine Pardoe and Victoria Hester shed new light and provide tantalizing new clues as to who may be the Freeway Phantom.

Amazed I had not heard of these murders before.

An account of a number of murders that occurred in DC during the 70s. It is a shame that this has not received as much attention as other killers, such as the Zodiac. This story is just as perplexing and justice is desperately need for the families of these kids. The book did was well written and did a great job of passing along facts that the lDC police would prefer everyone forget.

Intriguing, Exciting, Thorough

Wonderfully detailed exploration of the Freeway Phantom. Excellently performed by the narrator, he kept me intrigued the entire listen.

Tense!

Follow in the footsteps of a serial killer.

John N. Gully did an excellent job narrating. His mellow voice mesmerizes you.
