In this episode, we dive into the case of Lorenzo Gilyard, a seemingly average man who lived a double life as one of America’s most elusive serial killers. Known as The Kansas City Strangler, Gilyard was linked to the murders of at least 13 women between 1977 and 1993, but authorities believe the number could be even higher. His victims were primarily sex workers and vulnerable women whose cases went cold for decades — until DNA technology finally caught up with him in the early 2000s. Love the episode?
