Скачать или смотреть The Phantom Killer: The Murders That Stopped Overnight

Between February and May 1946, a mysterious attacker—dubbed The Phantom Killer—terrorized East Texas, murdering at least four young people and attacking others in parked cars and private homes.

His victims included Betty Jo Booker and Paul Martin in Abilene, Richard Griffin and Polly Ann Moore near Texarkana, and Virgil Starks in his own living room.

All were killed with chilling precision: gunshot wounds and a single throat slash.

Yet after May 1946… the attacks stopped completely.

No arrest. No confession. No body.

In this episode of Still Unanswered, we examine the one detail that defies explanation: how a serial predator could vanish overnight—and never strike again.

We explore:
• The wave of terror that shut down lovers’ lanes and triggered curfews across Texas
• The coerced confession of Clyde Swinney—and why her husband, Youell Swinney, was never charged
• Why modern profilers question whether all the crimes were committed by the same person
• The lack of forensic evidence in an era before fingerprint databases
• And how this case became the blueprint for small-town panic in American true crime

This isn’t a story with a monster.

It’s a story about how easily a killer could disappear in a world without cameras, cell phones, or national coordination.

If you believe true crime should seek truth—not just thrills—
you’re in the right place.
