112 - The Chicago Strangler
Listen now
Description
This story may be one of the biggest stories never told. Despite plenty of local news coverage and a feature in the NYT, many Chicagoans don’t even know about the Chicago Strangler. Frustratingly, there are few leads or clues as to who’s responsible for the murders of 51 women (that we know of) over the past 2 decades. We focus on the  timelines, facts, family members, and of course, the 51 victims.   The Victims:   -Angela Marieanna Ford -Charlotte W. Day -Winifred Shines -Brenda Cowart  -Elaine Boneta  -Saudia Banks -Bessie Scott  -Gwendolyn Williams -Jody Grissom -Lorraine Harris -Dellie Jones -Celeste Jackson -Nancy Walker  -Linda Green -Tarika Jones -Rosenda Barocio  -Latonya Keeler -Latricia Hall -Lucyset “Mary” Thomas -Ethel Amerson -Michelle Davenport -Tamala Edwards -Makalavah Williams -Precious Smith -Denise Torres -Wanda Hall -Yvette Mason -Shaniqua Williams -Margaret Gomez -Antoinette Simmons -Kelly Sarff -Veronica Frazier  -Mary Szatkowski -Theresa Bunn -Hazel Marion Lewis -Genevieve "Jenny" Mellas -Charlene Miller  -Latoya Banks -Shannon Williams -Vanessa Rajokovich -Lafonda Sue Wilson  -Quanda L. Crider  -Angela Profit -Pamela Wilson -Velma Howard  -Diamond Turner -Catherine Saterfield-Buchanan -Valerie Marie Jackson  -Lora Dawn Harbin -Nicole Lynell Ridge  -Reo Renee Holyfield   RESOURCES:  https://www.unforgotten51.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Strangler https://www.aetv.com/real-crime/is-there-a-serial-killer-in-chicago-right-now-strangling-women-and-burning-their-bodies https://www.wbez.org/stories/a-serial-killer-may-be-preying-on-black-women-in-chicago/21b45020-ca53-490e-8efe-b9c6ebbe11f3 http://themurdersquad.com/episodes/is-there-an-active-serial-killer-in-chicago/ https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-met-chicago-women-strangled-20180103-story.html https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-met-strangled-women-chicago-police-task-force-20190510-story.html https://www.grunge.com/422458/the-chicago-strangler-case-is-more-messed-up-than-you-know/ https://wgntv.com/news/cover-story/long-untold-student-journalists-share-the-stories-of-51-murdered-chicago-women/ https://chicagoreader.com/news-politics/have-you-seen-these-51-women/ http://www.murderdata.org http://www.murderdata.org/2020/02/chicago-police-make-first-arrest-in-51.html https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2020/12/5/22154394/telling-the-silent-stories-of-murdered-women https://news.medill.northwestern.edu/chicago/inconclusive-dna-results-in-chicago-female-homicides-investigator-still-certain-of-serial-killer/ https://www.oxygen.com/crime-news/journalism-students-tell-unforgotten-stories-of-murdered-chicago-women https://www.godsgorillas.com https://home.chicagopolice.org/services/tipsubmit/     [email protected]   https://www.instagram.com/whorestalkhorror/   https://www.patreon.com/whorestalkhorror   https://www.facebook.com/wh0restalkhorror   https://twitter.com/whoreshorror     Thunder crash SFX by ophylia Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC 3.0) Fade out has been added https://freesound.org/people/ophylia/sounds/474995/
