Episode 23 The Texarkana Phantom
From late Winter to the Spring of 1946, a hooded killer dubbed 'The Phantom' terrorized the sleepy Texarkana region of Texas and Arkansas. In a series of moonlight attacks mostly on young couples parked on lover's lanes, the killer is believed to have been responsible for at least 5 deaths. The attacks were brutal, and sexual in nature. Law enforcement at the time scrambled to catch the killer before he struck again, but as suddenly as the attacks started, they ended.
The killer was never caught, but several possible suspects were identified.
