Barbourville: Bible Belt Strangler's Kentucky Strike

from Foul Play: A Historical True Crime Podcast · host Shane L. Waters, Wendy Cee, Gemma Hoskins

In Barbourville, Kentucky, a shadow looms: the Bible Belt Strangler claims another... Episode 5 of Season 6 roots down into Barbourville's landscape scarred by this elusive killer. The women, beacons of hope and resilience, fell into premeditated vagaries. Their stolen lives reflect society's indifference to marginalized groups' safety. Barbourville's unsettling connection to these historical events means examining learned stereotypes about crime perceptions. Episode 5 unveils the haunting truths of the Strangler's modus operandi, his methods, victims' profiles, geographical choices, mapping connections typically dismissed as coincidence. The socio-political undercurrents of rural Americana in the late 20th century highlight dichotomies of trust and fear, local response, and the broader American narrative. Tune in for insightful analyses of the case's progression and intimate accounts detailing the pursuit of a murderer unbound by borders. --- Support Foul Play: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/foulplaypodcast Website: https://www.mythsandmalice.com/show/foul-play/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/foul-play-crime-series/id1525832703 Follow us: Instagram: @foulplaycrimeseries Twitter: @foulplaypodOur Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
