115 - The Houston Decapitator

from Trace Evidence · host Steven Pacheco

In the late summer of 1979 Houston was struck by a series of horrifying murders. Within a two month span, five people were killed in brutal fashion. The city was terrorized by an unknown killer, or possibly, more than one. For forty-one years the mystery of the Houston Decapitator has haunted Houston police, and those who remember that summer of horror. For Alys Rankin, Mary Calcutta, Doris Threadgill, Joann Huffman and Robert Spangenberger, their lives were stolen from them and justice has remained as illusive as their killers.
