TRAILER

True Crime Arizona: The Phantom Killer trailer

True Crime Arizona: The Phantom Killer is a limited series that examines the gruesome murders that terrified a small town 50 years ago. Investigative reporter Morgan Loew spent four years researching the case, interviewing family members of the victims, investigators, members of the killer’s family – and the killer himself. The podcast takes listeners back to the summer of 1967, when one little girl after another disappeared in Sierra Vista, Arizona and the police received a letter written by someone who called himself “The Phantom.” The story continues today, as the killer sheds new light on why he did what he did – all those years ago.

I’m from Sierra Vista, my parents moved there in 1969 and actually lived on the same street as the police chief at the time, who was involved in this story. This has been an amazing piece to listen to. Such a harrowing and gripping story about this little town. Great reporting.

Absorbing first episode that forever changed a small Arizona town. The Phantom is worth a listen. It’s reminiscent of a John Douglas book.
