It turns out, in addition to these murder confessions, he's been trying to tell another story for years, one that he says explains all of his predatory behavior and involves a vast brainwashing conspiracy he believes is run by the government.

Maybe the DA's office found it hard to take his confession seriously in the midst of ranting about a conspiracy. But what if he wasn't making it all up? Thanks for tuning in to Serial Killers, a Spotify podcast. I'll be back next Monday with part two of this story.

The Colonial Parkway is a 23-mile stretch of road in Virginia that connects Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown, otherwise known as America's Historic Triangle. The highway serves as a link between the three places. In much the same way, that's what investigators searched for in today's case, a link.

Between 1986 and 1989, six people were killed and two others went missing, all surrounding the Colonial Parkway, all in sets of two.

As of this recording, police and the FBI are still seeking a link between that killer and the victims who remain missing. they're also exploring another chilling theory, that there was more than one serial killer along the Colonial Parkway.
