旁白:80年代,美国圣经地带发生了一系列令人震惊的红发女郎谋杀案。受害者都是年轻女性,她们在高速公路附近被发现,死因多为被勒死或被殴打致死。警方调查发现,这些案件之间存在关联,很可能是一位连环杀手所为。 其中一起案件中,受害者琳达·沙克在被袭击后幸存下来,并指认了卡车司机杰里·约翰斯。约翰斯被捕,并因袭击琳达·沙克被判入狱。 然而,警方一直未能将约翰斯与其他红发女郎谋杀案联系起来。直到2019年,通过DNA证据,警方才确认约翰斯与其中一起案件有关。 尽管如此,仍有许多案件悬而未决。一些人认为约翰斯是红发女郎谋杀案的真凶,也有人认为还有其他凶手。案件的真相仍然扑朔迷离,等待着进一步的调查和破案。 这起案件反映了美国社会中存在的暴力犯罪问题,也凸显了警方在破案过程中面临的挑战。同时,案件也引发了人们对女性安全和社会公平的思考。

Shownotes Transcript

In the 1980s, women with red hair began vanishing along highways in the Bible Belt, their bodies discarded in shallow graves or along desolate roads. Truck driver Jerry Leon Johns was arrested after his brutal attack on a young dancer went awry, linking him to at least one of the infamous "Redhead Murders."

Spanning six states, 14 victims, and decades of unanswered questions, this chilling true crime saga explores the patterns of a predator, the lives of the victims, and the enduring mystery: Was Johns the Redhead Killer—or is he still out there?
