The Serial Killer in Your Inbox [3]
About this episode
The episode explores the case of a serial killer targeting Black women and girls in Newark, highlighting the investigation into his activities on dating apps.
Sex workers knew something bad was going on in Newark. But serial killers now find their victims online too. Mawa’s friends investigate a creepy guy she met on an app before she disappeared. Content warning: Someone’s Hunting Us deals with violence and sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised. --------------------- In 2016, a serial killer was preying on Black women and girls he thought no one would miss — and getting away with it. Police in New Jersey never suspected that Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, a nerdy-looking, polite young man from a law enforcement family, was the one stalking the streets and dating apps for his next target. The journalists behind “Father Wants Us Dead” — called one of the best true crime podcasts of all time by Entertainment Weekly — bring you a deeply-reported true crime story of a serial killer hiding in plain sight and the women who took him down.
