This week Beth and Wendy discuss serial killer brothers Anthony & Nathaniel Cook. They committed a series of at least nine rapes and murders in the Toledo, Ohio area between 1973 and 1981.
We dive into the setting (19:03), the killers early life (30:11) and the timeline (35:58). Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (45:10), "Where are they now?" followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (50:29).
As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (1:00:33).
Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop every Thursday, so until next time... look alive guys, it's crazy out there!
