S20 Ep33: The Crack City Strangler: The Homicides of Serial Killer Benjamin Atkins w/B.R. Bates
True Crime Tuesday presents: The Crack City Strangler: The Homicides of Serial Killer Benjamin Atkins with Researcher/Journalist/Author, B.R. Bates!
Benjamin "Tony" Atkins' reign of terror in Detroit spanned less than a year in the early 1990s. Known for targeting vulnerable women in Detroit's most dangerous neighborhoods, Atkins attacked at least 13 women along a mile-and-a-half stretch of Woodward Avenue, one of the city's most iconic streets.
Known as "the nation's fastest serial killer," Atkins' crimes were brutal and relentless, leaving victims abandoned in the dark corners of the Cass Corridor and Highland Park. Only when the lone survivor of his horrific spree came forward did law enforcement begin to connect the dots and ultimately capture the monster behind the killings.
On today's TCT, B.R. Bates joins the show to talk about the specifics of the case, What motivated Benjamin Aktins to attack and strangle sex workers, and we answer the question, "Would Benjamin had become a serial killer if he had a fighting chance at life to begin with?" This story will make you feel conflicted as to whether you can truly hate a serial killer!
