Or sub to Apple + In the late 90’s, residents of San Luis Obispo were concerned that a serial killer may be on the loose following the disappearance of two Cal Poly Tech students within a two year span, followed by yet another bright young woman abducted on her way to study at Cal.  A massive police effort would soon bring to light a separate killer than that of the original, highly publicized Kristin Smart case. This all thanks to the work of a parole officer whom thought to question a recently released inmate he referenced as being short and stocky, yet agile.  Mr. Krebs.  Sources: Vanity Fair  https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/01/the-podcast-that-helped-solve-a-murder-chris-lambert The Tribune https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/crime/article229321569.html The People vs Rex Allan Krebs https://cases.justia.com/california/supreme-court/2019-s099439.pdf?ts=1574359343 Buried in the Backyard S1E7 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
