About this listen
February 22, 1946. A masked attacker with a white hood and pistol terrorizes a young couple on a secluded Texas lovers' lane. Jimmy Hollis suffers multiple skull fractures. Mary Jeanne Larey is sexually assaulted and flees half a mile for help. The brutal attack on the outskirts of Texarkana goes largely unreported by local newspapers. Police dismiss it as an isolated incident. No warnings are issued to the public. Three weeks later, the killer strikes again.
This episode introduces the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, one of America's most infamous unsolved serial killer cases. Discover how this unique border city spanning Texas and Arkansas became the hunting ground for a predator known as the Phantom Killer. Learn about the lovers' lane culture of 1940s America, the post-war boom that transformed Texarkana, and the first violent attack that law enforcement fatally underestimated. The victims' conflicting descriptions of their attacker would complicate the investigation for decades.
Featuring detailed accounts of the February 22nd assault, the geographical complexities that hindered the investigation, and Jimmy Hollis's chilling warning: "If you don't find him, he's going to kill someone."
