211: Child Murderer Jon Dunkle

In the 1980’s, two small towns in California were shocked when two 12-year-old boys were brutally murdered. No physical evidence had been left at the crime scene and nobody knew who would want to hurt these two boys. With the help of witnesses and a sketch artist, investigators were able to connect their deaths to the disappearance of a 15-year-old boy. The suspect in question was Jon Dunkle. Despite the ease of connecting the three crimes and identifying Dunkle as a likely suspect in all three cases, Dunkle was unlike any other criminal the investigators had dealt with before. It would be years before detectives were able to finally to arrest 26-year-old Dunkle, who had been referred to as “The Peninsula Serial Killer.” Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!
