What Happens in the Woods21 Tammi 2022

"The South Hill Rapist" Fredrick Kevin Coe

Our topic of discussion this episode is one that is a tough subject to cover. Rape is a horrific crime, that can happen to anyone. It leaves very long lasting effects upon its victims.

From the years 1978 to 1981 women in Spokane were being terrorized by a rapist who was held unchecked. The media didn’t report it until well after a year of the crimes beginning. The police didn’t have the funding, the manpower or the resources to handle catching this criminal.

But it only takes one lucky lead to make or break a case. That lead finally came for detectives when a certain car was spotted multiple times in areas where the assaults had occurred.

Frederick “Kevin” Coe, or Coco as his mom nicknamed him, was the unlikeliest of suspects, yet when those who knew him learned of his arrest, no one but his family thought him innocent. It is assumed that Coe was responsible for over 40 rapes, but who knows how many untold victims he has left in his wake. The women who survived his attacks are survivors in every sense of the word. We wish them well.

This is the sordid story of The South Hill Rapist, Kevin Coe.
