In 1946, a series of brutal attacks and murders sent shockwaves through the quiet community, leaving a trail of unanswered questions and terrified citizens. Known only as the Phantom Killer, this elusive predator haunted the streets under the cover of night, evading capture and leaving his victims—and their town—in a state ofperpetual fear. Join us as we dive deep into the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, exploring the chilling details of a case that inspired both legendsand nightmares.
