Someone’s Hunting Us
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.
Introducing: Serial Killer: Richard Rogers | The First Kill
Between 1991 and 1993, New York City was home to an active serial killer: Richard Rogers. But his first kill came long before he made it to the Big Apple. In 1973, University of Maine student Frederic Spencer was found beaten and strangled to death near a forest outside of Orono. Richard readily admitted to killing his roommate, but he had every certainty he'd get away with it.
