The Smiley Face Killer: River of Shadows

In this chilling episode of Whispers from the Dark, Raven Vale peels back the surface of one of America’s most disturbing modern urban legends: the Smiley Face Killer. Dozens of young, athletic college men vanish from lively college towns, only to be found lifeless in nearby rivers. While authorities often chalk it up to tragic drownings, a chilling pattern emerges — eerily similar circumstances, missing evidence, and a sinister graffiti symbol lurking nearby: a crude, grinning smiley face. Raven guides listeners through this haunting theory, exploring the controversial work of retired detectives, the cries of devastated families, and the terrifying possibility of a hidden network of predators operating undetected across state lines. Are these mere coincidences or the work of something far darker? The river whispers, and it’s time to listen. Dare to descend into the shadows? The answers may be more terrifying than the questions.
