S2 E2: The East Area Rapist

from Case Files: True Crime Stories Hosted by Rehan Ahmed

After Visalia, the prowler became a predator. This episode follows the East Area Rapist's reign of terror over Sacramento from 1976 to 1979 — the taunting phone calls, the prowler's meticulous home invasions, the stacked plates, and the more than fifty people who endured him. Victims first: their courage, their decades of fear, and the three days in court when they finally spoke to the man in the mask. New episodes daily — one complete case every season. Music by SINIUS (Free Music Archive, CC-BY 4.0).
