DOM Ep243 - The Phantom Killer (Pt. 5) - Purely Circumstantial

Dawn of Mantis: True Crime, Mysteries and More

In episode 5 of our 6 part series on the Phantom Killer, Youell and Peggy give their statements as to what happened during the weeks of the attacks in Texarkana. While Youell denied any involvement, Peggy began a series of interviews in which she divulged more and more, until outright accusing her husband of murder. Her testimony certainly was damning, but the law stated that a woman could not be forced to testify against her husband, which was a huge problem. Also, despite the large amount of circumstantial evidence, no concrete physical evidence had yet been found, causing the police to have to get creative. (Subject Matter Begins @ 4:58)
