The Texarkana Moonlight Murders were a series of brutal attacks in 1946, where an unidentified assailant, dubbed the “Phantom Killer,” stalked and murdered young couples in secluded areas around Texarkana, Texas, and Arkansas. The killer, known for wearing a white sack mask, claimed five lives and seriously injured three others, instilling terror throughout the region and sparking one of the largest manhunts in the area’s history. Despite numerous suspects and investigations, the case remains unsolved, inspiring books, films, and a lasting urban legend of a faceless killer who vanished without a trace.
