The Dating App Killer: The Monica White Story

Residue: A True Crime Podcast

Show Notes

In this episode, we take a closer look at the real story behind the #1 movie on Netflix this week The Dating App Killer: The Monica White Story and the disturbing case of Anthony Robinson, known as the “Shopping Cart Killer.”

We discuss Monica White’s experience meeting Robinson through a dating app, the warning signs she encountered, and the investigation that eventually connected Robinson to multiple women.

We will look beyond the movie to separate the dramatized story from what actually happened, and we remember the women at the center of this case.
