    #214: Rafael Pérez, Richard Speck & the Spruce Goose

    In 1976, student pilot Rafael Pacheco Pérez took off on a routine training flight in Mexico and landed hours later with a bizarre story of lost time and an unexplained encounter. Jane explores the mystery behind his flight, while Deklan revisits the horrifying 1966 murders of eight student nurses in Chicago by Richard Speck. One woman survived by hiding under a bed, and her testimony helped bring Speck to justice. Join us for both stories in Episode #214 of Brutal, Bizarre, and Boozy.
