Between 1971 and 1972, the nation’s capital was gripped by fear. A ruthless predator was stalking the streets of Washington, D.C., abducting young Black girls in broad daylight… only to dump their bodies along the I-295 corridor. The press would dub him the Freeway Phantom—a name that still chills those who remember the case. But over 50 years later, not a single arrest has been made. Who was this phantom? Why did the killings stop? And why do so few people even remember these girls’ names? This is the story of the Freeway Phantom.
