The .22 Caliber Killer: A Sniper in the Shadows, A Knife in the Dark

In the early 1980s, a wave of terror swept through New York state. Six Black men were murdered in a series of brutal, execution-style attacks. The only links were the victims' race and the .22 caliber bullets that killed them. But the horror deepened when two victims were found with their hearts surgically removed. The FBI launched a massive investigation to find the man the media dubbed "The .22 Caliber Killer" and "The Mid-Town Sniper." This is the story of the hunt for Joseph Christopher, a deeply disturbed white man whose racist ideology fueled a solo campaign of violence. Unravel the mystery alongside the FBI's greatest law enforcers and forensic psychologists as they work to connect the seemingly random crimes and understand the fractured mind of a killer who brought a city to its knees.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime--6473403/support.
