New Podcast Episode: The Texarkana Moonlight Murders
The tiny town of Texarkana, which straddles the state line separating Texas from Arkansas, was tormented by a string of violent attacks in the 1940s. A mysterious assailant dubbed 'The Phantom Slayer' preyed upon young couples parked on lovers' lanes, sending Texarkana into a tailspin. Residents gripped by mass hysteria bought out all the door locks, window shades, and ammunition in town. By summer of 1946 the Phantom had faded away, but left an indelible mark on Texarkana as one of the earliest unsolved serial killer cases in America.
