Between 1984 and 1985, the city of Tampa, Florida was gripped by fear. Women were vanishing—and the link between them was terrifying. In this episode, I uncover the story of Bobby Joe Long, a predator who used his car, charm, and a twisted sense of control to target vulnerable women. What started with personal ads and manipulation escalated into a months-long killing spree that left a permanent scar on the survivors and families of his victims.
