The St Louis Video Strangler: Maury Travis Day 12 Nightmare Before Christmas

The St Louis Video Strangler: Maury Travis Day 12 Nightmare Before Christmas

Well, it the very final episode of 2020 and day 12 of our Nightmare Before Christmas series. So far we have traveled back in time and to other countries, like the UK, Australia, and Japan. In this last episode, we are going into our own backyard. A St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter opens an anonymous letter sent to him from someone praising him for a recent story he wrote about a murdered sex worker. However, this was not the normal fan mail as it included a map with an ‘X’ pointing to where the next dead sex worker would be found dead. Authorities go to the site in West Alton unsure of what they would find. Sadly, ‘X’ did mark the spot but this was just the beginning of a sadistic serial killer who wouldn’t stop until he made a mistake on his home computer.****edit*** A man by the name of Donald Younge Jr was charged with the murders of 3 of the women found in East St Louis in garbage bags. There names are Seriece Johnson, 33; Ramona Sidney, 31, and Tracy Williams, 38. Younge was stabbed and killed in prison before he could be tried. Jen and Cam would like to thank our very own wise men: Edward October from @octoberpodVHS who does our listener discretion and Nico @wetalkofdreams who does our music and produces us. Love to you both for helping us put another year in the books.Sources:https://www.newspapers.com/image/141225425/https://www.newspapers.com/image/141225498/https://www.newspapers.com/image/142073343/?terms=maury%20travis%20video%20tapes&match=1https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/from-the-archives-st-louis-serial-killer-victims-were-less-than-human-to-him-police/article_6d10868c-b3ef-5e32-81ab-bd450eb85268.amp.htmlhttps://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-found-serial-killer-lived-home-watching-tv/story?id=24467447https://www.vice.com/en/article/znwq79/this-lady-signed-a-lease-she-found-out-she-was-stuck-in-a-murder-house-709https://news.stlpublicradio.org/government-politics-issues/2019-04-26/was-a-serial-killer-responsible-for-the-murder-of-six-women-in-east-st-louis-this-expert-thinks-sohttps://www.newspapers.com/image/142839867/https://www.newspapers.com/image/142825821/?terms=mary%20shields&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/142825907/https://www.newspapers.com/image/142858026/?terms=teresa%20wilson&match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/142858029https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1095694/ Learn more about your ad choices.
