Chasing a Serial Killer [8]
Descripción del Episodio
Can we learn anything from talking to Khalil Wheeler-Weaver himself, about why he did this? And the saga isn’t over: he still needs to answer for one more murder.
Content warning: Someone’s Hunting Us deals with violence and sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised.
---------------------
In 2016, a serial killer was preying on Black women and girls he thought no one would miss — and getting away with it. Police in New Jersey never suspected that Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, a nerdy-looking, polite young man from a law enforcement family, was the one stalking the streets and dating apps for his next target. The journalists behind “Father Wants Us Dead” — called one of the best true crime podcasts of all time by Entertainment Weekly — bring you a deeply-reported true crime story of a serial killer hiding in plain sight and the women who took him down.
