Terrifying & True | Texarkana Moonlight Murders: The Phantom Killer
Episode 23 min 34s
The 1946 Texarkana Moonlight Murders left five people dead and a border town afraid of the dark. Terrifying & True follows attacks on lovers’ lanes and at a farmhouse, the survivors’ accounts and the investigation of the figure called the Phantom Killer. The case helped inspire The Town That Dreaded Sundown, but the real people behind the screen legend deserve a closer look. Fear, conflicting clues and an elusive attacker turned ordinary nighttime routines into a source of dread. What could investigators establish—and what remained beyond their reach? We're telling that story tonight.
