But then also the idea that my pan in the fire of a podcast with my friend Georgia that I'd met six months prior. It's wild.
Yeah. All right. So Georgia goes first on this episode. So here is her story about the so-called freeway phantom.

Chapter 2: What episode are they discussing today?
They are all black women.
Yeah, that's fucking... Yeah.
And it's tragic. I'll get into it. All right, here we go. So... The Freeway Phantom was the name given to an unidentified serial killer known to have abducted, raped, and strangled six female youths in the Washington, D.C. area from April 1971 through September 1972. That's not even a fucking year. No. Which immediately makes you think he got arrested right afterwards or moved on.
Oh, because they don't know who it is?
Oh, yeah. Unidentified still.
Oh, sorry.
No, it's fine. It's fine. I have some suspects. The victims were all African-American girls between the ages of 10 and 18. No. No. Sweet baby angels. Okay, so the first one was in April 1971. 13-year-old Carol Spinks was sent by her sister to go to a 7-Eleven located half a mile away from her home, which is like what you do back then. You go walk. And 13, that's like old enough.
Oh, so old. We used to walk to the store, the corner store, which is like easily a half a mile away, every single day from when I was like six years old.
Yeah, we used to jaywalk on one of the busiest streets, like encouraged to jaywalk. To the store across the street. Just cut across the street. Just run fast. Yeah. You fucking idiot. On her way home from the store, Carol was abducted and her body was found six days later on a grassy embankment next to the northbound lanes of the I-295.
