info_outlineEpisode 164 The Denver Four Part 1 of 2
Four women were murdered in the Denver, CO area, three in 1980 and one in 1978, in crimes that remained unsolved – and unconnected – for decades. The victims had nothing in common, the circumstances varied widely. But modern DNA testing technology provided investigators with some very surprising information – and IGG tied it all together. They were looking for one man for all four murders – and those were not the sum total of his heinous crimes. Today’s episode is about one of the more depraved killers identified by IGG, one you’ve likely never heard of.
