S6 Ep22: Serial Killer Joseph Paul Franklin's Three-Year Race War
About this episode
The episode explores the violent actions of serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin during a three-year period in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
For three years in the late 1970s and into 1980 — before shared databases and DNA evidence — one man moved freely across 11 states trying to start a race war. He changed his name to honor a Nazi propagandist and a founding father. He bombed synagogues, gunned down interracial couples, shot a magazine publisher in broad daylight, and left whole communities living in fear of a killer they couldn't identify.
