The Sunnyside Rapist, Part 2 | Season 4: Listener Suggestions, Ep 6

from Appalachian Mysteria · host Kromatic Media

In the second of this 2-part series, Jack Edward Hawkins is put on trial without physical evidence for three assaults committed by the Sunnyside rapist, but prosecutors refuse to claim he is a suspect in any others. Neighbors of the Hawkins family come forward to describe their experience with Jack and his children. As Hawkins’ involvement in a 1975 incident comes to light, the Mysteria team learns that a new West Virginia law now makes it impossible to learn details about any sexual assault cases. And a team of New Zealand researchers is hired by the defense to explain the problems with the eyewitness testimony used against Hawkins.Sarah & Geoff's book about the WVU Coed Murders(available on Amazon)Kendall's Appalachian Motorcycling Travel Channel(@motoappalachiadiscovery on YouTube)Kromatic Media
