Listener warning! Listener discretion is strongly advised.


Starting in 1981, a man answered several classified ads posted by women who were selling various items in local newspapers. This man was not buying a toaster or a new home; he was searching for his next victim. They were petite young women who often worked the streets. He would become known as one of the most prolific killers operating in Florida during the 1980s, but his luck would run out when he ran into a brave teenager who would lead officers right to this serial killer.

Join Jen and Cam as we discuss “Tampa's Classified Ad Rapist: Bobby Joe Long Day” on Day 10 of the 12 Nightmares Before Christmas.

All the music, as well as our executive producer, is Nico @wetalkofdreams. He is as impressive as he is talented.

That incredible voice at the top of the show warning listeners is Edward October from @octoberpodVHS
