165. The Eyes Have It: Charles Albright

Today we are headed to the outskirts of Dallas to a seedy area known as Oak Cliff, where income is low, and crime is high. It is 1990, and gangs, drugs, and sex workers frequent the area. Crack was big, and people would do almost anything to get it, including selling themselves for enough money to get a hit of crack, and then the cycle would repeat itself. Officer Regina Smith is on duty on December 13, 1990, when a call comes in pertaining to a body. It was a sex worker by the name of Mary Pratt. Her body was found on a street laid out for all the world to see. Obviously, the killer was proud of his work and wanted everyone to see her. Mary was a drug-addicted sex worker with the track marks to prove it, but there was something different about this murder, and it was gruesome.Join Jen and Cam of Our True Crime Podcast on this episode entitled ‘The Eyes Have It: Charles Albright.’Listener discretion is by the fabu Edward October @octoberpodVHSThe show is EP by Nico @wetalkofdreams; he is the best.Make sure to check out the podcast ‘It’s Murder Up North’ @murderupnorthListen to their promo during our show.Sources: https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/see-no-evil-3/http://maamodt.asp.radford.edu/Psyc%20405/serial%20killers/Albright,%20Charles.htmhttps://murderpedia.org/male.A/a/albright-charles.htmhttps://web.archive.org/web/20030206063654/http://www.hbo.com/autopsy/episode/episode_5_the_eyeball_killer.htmlhttps://www.audacy.com/krld/articles/news/dallas-historys-notorious-killer-of-prostitutes-has-diedhttps://news.google.com/newspapers?id=fAkgAAAAIBAJ&dq=charles%20albright%20murder&pg=5313%2C5601569https://www.oxygen.com/mark-of-a-killer/season-1/videos/mark-of-a-killer-an-eye-for-murder-season-1-episode-3http://oakcliff.advocatemag.com/2013/08/investigation-discovery-show-spotlights-oak-cliff-serial-killer/http://www.parkaman.com/charles-albright-eyeball-killer/http://documents.latimes.com/charles-f-albright/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1214469/https://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/2011/04/28/serial-killer-charles-albright-the-texas-eyeball-killer/https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/resource/enucleated-a-case-study-of-charles-albright-the-eyeball-killer/https://documentaryheaven.com/born-kill-charles-albright/ Learn more about your ad choices.
