Case 121: The Freeway Phantom
Added 2019-08-12 07:38:02 +0000 UTCIt was a balmy afternoon on Sunday April 25 1971 in the United States capitol of Washington D.C. Allenteen Spinks left her apartment on Wahler Place Southeast in Congress Heights, a neighbourhood in the states southwest, to visit an aunt who lived on the other side of town. Before she left, Allenteen warned her children they were not to leave while she was gone.

2019-08-18 23:02:08 +0000 UTCI can't pinpoint what exactly made this episode different, but it haunts me knowing that such depravity can be committed for so long and without closure. We all hope that stories like this will end in a miracle finding like the Golden State Killer, but as the years go on, most of these killers die with their secret.

2019-08-15 23:31:07 +0000 UTCThanks! It looks like Patreon added the download option back. They must have heard a million complaints yesterday!

2019-08-15 17:01:11 +0000 UTCThere's a little downward facing arrow to the right that downloads the file. Just worked for me as far as I can tell.

2019-08-14 04:03:23 +0000 UTCJust received an email from another podcast I am a patron of and they said Patreon has removed the download option. This stinks for those of us that don't stream on our phones :(

2019-08-13 19:46:51 +0000 UTCThere doesn't seem to be a way to download the episode like usual. Did Patreon change something?

2019-08-13 14:55:15 +0000 UTCI thought maybe you looked up the travel times during a particularly brutal rush hour 😉

2019-08-13 04:06:37 +0000 UTCThanks for pointing that out Valerie and Samantha. Geographic error we made there. We will rectify prior to the main release. Thank you

2019-08-13 01:56:53 +0000 UTCCame here to say the same thing — DC is across the river from Virginia. I also am a former Washingtonian!
Samantha
2019-08-13 01:27:04 +0000 UTCNever heard of this case! Awesome work thank you

2019-08-13 01:25:45 +0000 UTCThis is my favorite podcast. 😁 I also lived in the DC area for a period and have never heard of this case. However the description of the geography confused me or perhaps I heard wrong. I think it was stated that Virginia was a 3 hour drive from DC. But Virginia borders DC so parts of Virginia are reachable within minutes from DC.

2019-08-12 21:47:54 +0000 UTCYes. Good coverage but a frustrating. :(

2019-08-12 18:56:25 +0000 UTCI'm not from that area, but this case was also new to me! Have you listened yet?
Megan Brennan
2019-08-12 18:53:38 +0000 UTCWow! I’ve lived in DC and adjoining counties my whole life and have never heard of this case!
