Stranger Danger of the '70s and '80s – True Crime Cases that Created the Myths

Stranger Danger of the '70s and '80s – True Crime Cases that Created the Myths

In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we dive headfirst into the Stranger Danger phenomenon that gripped the U.S. in the 1970s and 1980s. From disturbing true crime cases like the disappearances of Etan Patz and Adam Walsh, to dramatized media like Girls Beware and Wheels of Terror, we explore how a cultural wave of fear shaped parenting, public policy, and the childhoods of an entire generation.

We break down the origins of the Stranger Danger myth, how it gained traction through news coverage and TV PSAs, and the true crimes that fueled the fear. With a mix of informative breakdowns and a bit of nostalgic reflection, we examine the psychological and societal impact this era of paranoia had on families—and whether it still lingers today.
