Description: In Virginia in the 80s, women were being attacked, little evidence was being left behind, and the wrong man was sitting in a prison cell.This week I bring you the unbelievable story of Timothy Wilson Spencer — a serial killer whose audacious crimes were eerily quiet, yet the impact was like a bomb going off in these bedroom communities of Arlington and Richmond. A story of investigatory missteps, false confessions, and new discoveries in science that finally blew the case wide open. This story has it all, so press play and let's get into it. @melaninmayhempodcast@melaninmayhempcmelaninmayhempodcast@gmail.comGet your Melanin Mayhem Merch and your copy of the e-guide From Case to Compelling:www.melaninmayhempodcast.com Galantines virtual event:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1979458895843?aff=oddtdtcreator
