Pre-roll transcript:

Before you is an episode of the Full Time Nix podcast. My name is Dawn. My job (self-appointed) is to empower the Nix user. If you're listening on the website, consider listening on a podcast app—they offer fancy features. To new listeners I would recommend starting with a recent episode ...which this might be. I hope you’ll find this episode informative and entertaining.

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill. What followed was decades of rumors, false leads, and a case that law enforcement could never seem to close. Now, veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
