EP33 BLIND READ: “The Truck Stop Killer” by Vanessa Veselka for GQ

In 2012, GQ opened their 2012 culture article titled “The Truck Stop Killer” with the following:

“He was methodical, he rode the highways, and he preyed on teenage girls. Girls who’d run away. Girls no one would miss. In the summer of 1985, the author was such a girl. One night on I-95, she hitched a ride from a stranger and endured the most terrifying moments of her life. Now, years later, she returns to the scenes of her fugitive youth looking for clues to that terror—and the girls who lost their lives to it.”

On Episode 33 of Camping Is Canceled, we blind read our way through & react in real time to an absolutely GRIPPING article written by author Vanessa Veselka about her years spent surviving the terrifying darker side of the world of long haul trucker-hitchhiking in the 1980s, and the harrowing story of one of the Midwest’s most terrifying serial predators. & yes Vanessa is a bad@ass💪…but camping is still forever canceled.
