The Crimes of Robert Ben Rhodes

Robert Ben Rhodes was a man who lived on the road... a trucker who seemed like just another face behind the wheel. But hidden behind that calm exterior was a darkness few could imagine. His truck wasn’t just a vehicle; it was a prison. A place where people’s lives ended in terror.Rhodes’ crimes stretched across years and state lines, leaving behind a trail of heartbreak and unanswered questions. Behind every headline and mugshot were real people — with families, dreams, and lives stolen far too soon.Support Our Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PayPal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Our Facebook Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: miserymachinepodcastTwitter: misery_podcastDiscord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#themiserymachine #podcast #truecrimeSource Materials:https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/unidentified/images/9/94/GreatBasinMurdersNewspaperClipping.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20250424173559 https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-illinois-asks-fo/114749885https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ben_Rhoades#cite_note-GQ2012-2https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9175140/Torture-chamber-trucker-sentence-to-life-in-prison.htmlhttps://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-sex-torture-phot/114750145https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Keqy_y4hBdE&t=1shttps://www.seattlepi.com/seattlenews/article/inmate-charged-in-90-slaying-of-seattle-woman-1167349.phphttps://www.deseret.com/2012/3/29/20500547/serial-killer-with-utah-ties-gets-2-more-life-sentences-in-texas/ https://www.gq.com/story/truck-stop-killer-gq-november-2012https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8220991/patricia_candace-zyskowskihttps://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Walshhttps://www.deseret.com/2012/3/29/20500547/serial-killer-with-utah-ties-gets-2-more-life-sentences-in-texashttps://www.cbc.ca/news/world/serial-killer-texas-trucker-kept-dungeon-in-cab-1.1266589#:~:text=Rhoades%2C%20a%20Houston%20trucker%20who,IDOC%2FAssociated%20Press)https://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/psyc%20405/serial%20killers/Rhodes%2C%20Robert%20Ben%20_spring%202007_.pdfdiscover.hubpages.com/politics/darknss-beneath-the-charm-unraveling-the-maine-bed-and-breakfast-murdershttps://facts.net/history/people/38-facts-about-robert-ben-rhoades/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa_Veselkahttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1996529647535547/posts/2230175777504265https://abcnews.go.com/US/texas-trucker-traveling-torture-chamber-admits-murders/story?id=16037743https://longreads.com/2012/10/25/the-truck-stop-killerhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/13424313/regina_kay-waltershttps://law.justia.com/cases/illinois/court-of-appeals-fifth-appellate-district/2001/5980821.htmlhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8221018/douglas_scott-zyskowskihttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/truck-driver-who-killed-hitchhikers-gets-life-sentences-plea-deal-flna601950https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/natl-serial-killer-who-targeted-female-hitchhikers-gets-life-sentences/1943078https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/101919190/ricky_lee-joneshttps://www.facebook.com/InvestigationDiscovery/posts/after-debra-davis-appeared-on-evil-lives-here-kentucky-state-troopers-reached-ou/10156453112979902https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-shows/evil-lives-here-after-the-evil/full-episodes/after-the-evil-deadly-fetish?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=sf205405427&utm_campaign=investigationdiscovery&sf205405427=1&fbclid=IwY2xjawNwmjFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFJUm1lTlgwazZIYWQzbm00AR43K_xGxbF28zYnrTb2ALIbE3Gn_mePtxGhobXYtYzEnGmyqorKR3zY-GivSA_aem_2L3aEsHqPvrLEyajnT22sA
