Ep 71. Russell Johnson "The Spiderman of Ontario"

This week on WDDD, Sarah unveils a story that's been hidden in the shadows.  Between the 1960s and the mid-1980s, London, Ontario, claimed a dubious distinction – not for its enchantment, but for hosting the highest documented number of serial killers per capita in Canada, and perhaps even the entire continent. Today, we delve into the chilling narrative of Russell Johnson, a serial rapist and murderer who acquired notorious monikers like "The Spiderman of Ontario," "The Bedroom Strangler," and "The Balcony Strangler." Medical professionals and investigators believed that if Russell had not been apprehended, he could have potentially surpassed all records to become Canada's most prolific serial killer. Join us as we unravel this bone-chilling chapter in Canadian true crime history, and remember to keep your balcony doors securely locked.         Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhyDeyDoDatPod    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whydeydodatpodcast    Email: [email protected]
