The Casanova Killer: Paul John Knowles
Thank you for taking the time to tune into ICMAP! You may hear the audio quality is not quite up the standard of Series 2 onwards - we were still finding our feet as a podcast. Rest assured, the production quality does improve ♥️💀This week, Tom and Ben look into one of America’s most forgotten serial killers: the dangerously charming Paul John Knowles, more commonly known as The Casanova Killer...It's the night of July 26th, 1974 – George McCrae’s “Rock Your Baby” tops the charts across the USA. Upbeat melodies fill the air and people embrace amidst the magic of Seventies America. Counterculture in full-swing and the “free-love” movement midway through its second decade, promiscuous adolescents pack the bars to the rafters. Music continues to flow as strangers engage, dancing and drinking the night away. With “newly-mets” leaving together, a lonely figure remains at the bar. Taking no notice in anything but the alcohol he consumes, he continues to lift his glass. Drink after drink, after drink. The bar now empty, it’s his time to leave. But he remains glued to the bar. Undeterred by the waitress’s requests, a bouncer approaches. A knife is plunged into the bouncer’s chest and the attacker tries to flee. Pinned down by the bouncer and assisting bar staff, the police are called in. They make the arrest of the drunken stranger and take him to his cell. In the early hours HOWEVER, and in a drunken daze, the stranger picks the lock to his cell and escapes into the Jacksonville night. Little did they know, this mysterious drunken escapee would that night go on to become The Casanova Killer… So, who is The Casanova Killer and why did he go on to take the lives of so many innocent people? How did he put each victim under his spell? What were his motivations behind his killing spree? How was he able to escape time after time? What did he do with his taped confessions? And how did he remain at large for so long? Tune in and all will be revealed! ***Please kindly give the show a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you find us in your ears at the moment.
