On this episode of The Black Docket, we pull back the curtain on Maury Travis, a name that should be infamous but too many have never heard. The reason is simple. His victims were mostly poor, mostly Black, and all overlooked.
Travis was a sadistic serial killer operating out of St. Louis who not only hunted vulnerable women but recorded their suffering on videotape.
Today we will walk you through how he got away with it for so long, how he taunted the media with anonymous letters, and how a single online search finally blew it all wide open.
But this episode isn’t just about the crimes. It’s about the silence that let them happen. The ignored missing persons reports. The lives that didn’t make the headlines.
If you’ve never heard this story before, ask yourself why.
