*** Content warnings: Child victim, sexual assault ***
In 2004, several young girls around Fort Wayne, Indiana received handwritten letters threatening that they would be the next victim of a child killer.

Customer Reviews
Jill Rosenthall
Wow an eerily creepy case that I did not expect it to go in ways that it did. Very very sad all round for everyone involved. Not impressed with Jack and Jill’s mother’s behaviour, and I was wishing she’d get her comeuppance for being such a poor excuse…
I enjoyed the narration if he is a real person.
Used to love this show
This used to be my no. 1 true crime podcast but now it’s just adding attention to the American cases and ignoring NZ/AU cases like everyone else. I could forgive this because the storytelling is great BUT there’s too many ads and it just makes for a consistently interrupted listening experience, I’ve stopped listening altogether.
My Favourite True Crime
Being from NZ, it’s often a bit much listening to American true crime.
Unlike the US ones I don’t mind, this narrator has the ability to make it less about him and more about the stories in comparison to others.
