Serial Killers - Amos Robinson and Abron Scott (EP-19)

In 1983 the city of Tampa Florida saw a rise in homicides and bodies that were showing up in conspicuous areas around town. Police stated early on that they did not believe these murders to be connected nor did they suspect a serial killer was on the loose. So when Barbara Grams’s body was discovered in August that year, they treated it as unrelated. They zoned in on 18-year-old Robert Duboise and pretty quickly arrested and convicted him of Barbara’s murder. Robert spent 37 years fighting to prove his innocence and pushing to test the crime scene DNA. that DNA evidence would change the story of what really happened forever and bring two serial killers with no regard for human life to light.
