St. Louis’s Darkest Secret: The Story of Maury Travis
from The Black Docket · host Tammi
On this episode of The Black Docket, we pull back the curtain on Maury Travis, a name that should be infamous but too many have never heard. The reason is simple. His victims were mostly poor, mostly Black, and all overlooked.Travis was a sadistic serial killer operating out of St. Louis who not only hunted vulnerable women but recorded their suffering on videotape. Today we will walk you through how he got away with it for so long, how he taunted the media with anonymous letters, and how a single online search finally blew it all wide open. But this episode isn’t just about the crimes. It’s about the silence that let them happen. The ignored missing persons reports. The lives that didn’t make the headlines.If you’ve never heard this story before, ask yourself why.🕊️🕊️The Forgotten Docket🕊️🕊️Tyson WakerAge: 14Height: 5’11Weight: 225Eyes: BrownHair: BlackIf you have any information about Tyson whereabouts please contact the Clayton County Police at 770-477-3747🎧🎧Listener of the Week🎧🎧Deconstructionlady2024 🫶🏽Listen to The Black Docket Podcast🎧 Spotify: The Black Docket on Spotify🍎 Apple Podcasts: The Black Docket on Apple Podcast💛 iHeartRadio Podcasts: The Black Docket on iHeartRadio Podcast🎙️ Amazon Music: The Black Docket on AmazonJoin the Investigation🔔 Hit the bell to never miss an episode.💬 Comment your theories—we read every one.🕵️♀️ Follow me on social media for behind-the-scenes updates, case breakdowns, and my occasional rants about why the justice system needs a makeover:📸 Instagram: The_black_docket🎥 TikTok: TheBlackDocketPodcast🐦 Twitter: TheBlackDocket
