IT’S HOLIDAY SEASON WITH THE DO YOU DARE? DUO!

In this episode we travel to Ohio to cover the Dayton Christmas killings of 1992 where the gang that went by the name ‘The Downtown Posse’ killed six people, injured multiple others and changed the holiday season for one city for years to come.

 

Following along with us as we tell you all the details of their tree day crime spree, how they eventually got caught, their punishments and we remember the victims that tragically lost their lives when this callous group of young adults decided they were simply bored and wanted to kill.
