According to the FBI’s former assistant director Frank Figliuzzi, long-haul truckers may be responsible for over 850 murders in the United States

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss:

The case of long-haul trucker Robert Ben Rhoades, the Truck Stop Serial Killer. Rhoades has been convicted of four murders and is thought to have killed at least 50 people during his crime spree. He made a ‘torture dungeon’ in the cab of his truck so that he could restrain his victims.
The cases of missing people Judith Casida and Patrick Carnes. Judith and Patrick have no known connection, but they both disappeared from the exact same desolate exit ramp in Nevada. Judith disappeared in 2006 and Patrick disappeared in 2011. Both of their vehicles were left behind and no trace of them has ever been found. Could they have been victims of a serial killer?
