Show Notes
The clock strikes Soul's Midnight once again as we explore the case of the Green River Killer. This is a very disturbing, lengthy case that involves sexual assault, rape, murder, and necrophilia. We want to be very clear about that so that people who might experience distress from listening to discussions about those topics can stop the episode here. We want to encourage everyone to put their mental health and well-being first - if you are concerned about the topics that may be covered in this episode, please join us next time. We encourage you to visit the post for this episode on our website so you can see the faces of the victims.
