About this listen

 Teenage girls vanish from the streets of Newark. Their best friends have key information — but will police listen? 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. Check out our website for more about our reporting, plus photos and video footage, including Khalil Wheeler-Weaver’s full interrogation video: https://someoneshuntingus.com Have a question, an idea for our next show, or other feedback?
