How a Teen Captured a Serial Killer

from Coffeehouse Crime · host Coffeehouse Crime

From a 13-year-old who memorized the Night Stalker's license plate [citation:1], to a high school class that cracked a 40-year-old cold case [citation:2][citation:9], teens have played pivotal roles in capturing serial killers. Kidnapped survivors like 17-year-old Lisa McVey left DNA evidence and detailed memories to catch Bobby Joe Long [citation:10], while 15-year-old Kara Robinson Chamberlain escaped and led police to Richard Evonitz [citation:5]. Even a 10-year-old's keen observations helped hunt Australia's Mr. Cruel [citation:7].
