episode 9: Episode s2-9- The Pennsylvania Turnpike Phantom of 1953
Episode s2-9- The Pennsylvania Turnpike Phantom of 1953.
On the night of July 25. Lester Woodward, a 30 year old freight driver did what freight drivers have been doing for 1000s of years. He got tired and pulled his vehicle over to get some sleep. Hauling freight is an old profession. The methods of doing it have evolved but its still a matter of moving goods from one place to another.
Lester had no reason to think it would be a problem, he had been doing it for years. Unfortunately Lester never woke up. He was shot once. With .32 caliber pistol. The bullet going straight into his brain. This was the first attack of the murder named the Turnpike Phantom. There would be more death and violence before the Phantom was identified and stopped. Could this happen again or has it already? Listen and decide for your self.
