Episode 3: The Doodler

from Grotesque Tea Hosted by Sunset Slaughter

The Doodler is a serial killer believed responsible for anywhere between six and sixteen murders and three assaults of men in San Francisco, California, between January 1974 and September 1975. The nickname was given due to the perpetrator's habit of sketching his victims prior to stabbing them to death. Content Warnings: This episode contains harsh language, violence, and LGBT victims.
