Hi, serial killers listeners. I have some news to share today. After seven incredible years of

hosting this show, I will be signing off of serial killers after this week's episode. The good news is

serial killers isn't going anywhere. It will still be in the best hands with people who've been

here for years, some since

the very beginning. I know that wherever they take the show next, it'll be worth sticking around

for. It's been the greatest privilege to bring you these stories week after week, and I've been

humbled by the encouragement, support, and enthusiasm you've given this show over the years.

Thank you for listening.

And please don't forget, stay safe out there.

Due to the nature of this case, listener discretion is advised.

This episode includes discussions of murder,

sexual assault, and violence. Consider this when deciding how and when you'll listen.

It's September 21st, 1964. An assistant prosecutor Donald Mason is reading the daily edition of the Kansas

City Star. There's several stories on the front page, one about the war in Vietnam, another

covering a local cable car crash. But the column at the bottom of the page catches Mason's

eye. The stories from Mexico City, an American woman

had been charged with murder for shooting a man to death in a hotel room. The woman's name is

Sharon Kinney. Mason realizes she's the same woman who's been tried for murder four times in the Kansas City area. She's the same woman who's been tried for murder four times in the Kansas City area.

She's the same woman he had been preparing to prosecute when she vanished.
