Thirteen people were randomly shot across Washington D.C. — in just three weeks — back in October 2002. As each new victim was gunned down, the FBI and local detectives struggled to track down a killer — until a tip helped them piece together the murder mystery. Journalist Tony Holt hosts the 10-part series, "Chasing Ghosts: The Hunt for the D.C. Snipers," which takes a magnifying look at one of the most devastating killing sprees in U.S. history.

Customer Reviews
Just like I remember
As a life long resident of the area this podcast tells the story just like I remember it. At the time I had 2 young children and everything in our world was turned upside down. The timeframe shortly after 9-11 was a vulnerable time the DC are. We had the police supervising kids being dropped at school. Recess, ball games, and Halloween were canceled. Kids weren’t allowed to play outside. People were afraid to pump gas, and ran zig zag into stores. Everyone was focused on finding a white box truck, which if you look you will find they are everywhere! And then just like that it was over in a matter of hours.
Great Story!
I listened to this non stop til i finished the series. From the first episode I was hooked. Great story and very well done.
Excellent!
Fantastic research and presentation was outstanding. I thought I knew a lot about the DC Snipers, but I learned a great deal from this podcast. I’m ready for Mr. Holt’s next one.
