The Long Haul Trucker Murders
Manage episode 431564687 series 1901467
In 2004, the FBI was tipped off to a gruesome pattern of unsolved murders along American highways, and since then, at least 850 homicides have been linked to a new breed of serial killer: long-haul truck drivers! The FBI’s Former Assistant Director of Counterintelligence, Frank Figliuzzi, did his own interviews, research and investigation into some of the most terrifying cases which he chronicled in his new book, Long Haul: Hunting The Highway Serial Killers. He breaks down some of the cases including the “Truck Stop Killer,” who is suspected of killing some 50 women, and who rigged a traveling torture chamber in the read of his truck, and “The Interstate Strangler” who once answered a call from his mother while killing one of his dozen victims. He talks about the FBI’s special Highway Serial Killings Initiative, what makes these specific types of killings so hard to solve, and what he learned about the life, habits and culture of long-haul truck drivers.
