About this listen
 Between 1989 and 1992, southern Ohio was terrorised by a serial killer who randomly targeted solitary outdoorsmen, joggers, and fishermen using a high-powered rifle. Despite a lack of initial clues, a multi-county task force formed alongside the FBI after a murder occurred on federal property, eventually utilizing profiling to narrow down their suspect. A major breakthrough occurred when a former acquaintance named Richard Frye identified Thomas Dillon after a public appeal for information. Although surveillance and initial weapon charges applied intense pressure, investigators ultimately secured his guilt through ballistics testing that matched a recovered gun to the victims. To avoid the death penalty, Dillon pleaded guilty to five murders, bringing a measure of closure to grieving families like the Paxtons, whose persistent letters and advocacy helped expose the killer.
