    Episode 148 The Serial Crimes of Jimmy Maketta

    In 2005, the Philippi community knew that there was a serial predator among them. It would take far too long for the SAPS to acknowledge this though, and during that time, the killer did as he pleased. When one of the Western Cape's best detectives gets the docket, though, things start moving quickly, and soon he's staring into the eyes of the man they called the Jesus Killer.

Excellent

Thank you for having a heart for the victims and their families. I truly look forward to your podcast each week - not because of the horror that these families must endure, but because you show real empathy for the victims and their families, but you still ensure that the offender is held accountable for their actions. Thank you for this show.
