The Mystery of the “Phantom Killer” of Texarkana

In 1946, Texarkana—a town split by the Texas-Arkansas line—lived in terror. The "Phantom Killer" stalked lovers' lanes under moonlit pines, his white pillowcase mask hiding a .32-caliber pistol. Five dead, three wounded in savage ambushes: skull-crushing beatings, execution-style shots, dragged bodies in bloody woods. Sheriff Presley, Texas Rangers, and FBI hunted 400 suspects—but the killer vanished.

Hear the facts: Jimmy & Mary Jeanne's flashlight ambush; Dick & Polly Ann's dragged executions; Paul & Betty Jo's tortured two-mile trail; Virgil & Katie's farmhouse slaughter. Prime suspect Youell Swinney's wife confessed killer details—then recanted. 80 years unsolved.

Hosted by Jay Nicoll of Nicoll Investigations: No speculation, just cold case precision. Inspired The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976).

Tips: Bowie Co. (903) 798-3149 | Miller Co. (870) 774-3001.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.
