Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

In this remastered episode from 2018, Wendy and Beth dive into the disturbing story of Maury Travis, the St. Louis serial killer who tortured and murdered women while recording his crimes on videotape. We explore his early life, the murders, and the shocking clue that ultimately led investigators straight to his door.

Along the way, we examine the history of St. Louis, the impact of racism, poverty, and the crack epidemic, and how vulnerable women became targets for a predator hiding in plain sight. We also discuss what may have driven Travis to kill and share our takeaways.

This episode was researched, scripted & edited by Wendy & Beth Williams.

Thanks for listening! Until next time... look alive y’all, it's crazy out there!

In this remastered episode from 2018, Wendy and Beth revisit one of the most horrifying crime sprees in Wichita history. In December 2000, brothers Reginald and Jonathan Carr unleashed days of robbery, abduction, sexual assault, and murder, culminating in a brutal night that left five friends fighting for their lives, and one woman making an extraordinary escape.
