The Laredo Serial Killer

If you’ve been immersed in the true crime world for some time, you’re likely aware of the unfortunate reality that perpetrators of violent crime disproportionately target specific groups in our society. Women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, drug users, and sex workers often find themselves facing violence at alarmingly higher rates than the general population. Tragically, the more these factors apply to an individual, the greater their vulnerability becomes to the darkest elements of society.


Thanks to Skip Hollandsworth of Texas Monthly, whose extensive coverage of this case made today’s episode possible.

The alarming prevalence of domestic abuse, also known as intimate partner violence, extends globally. According to the CDC, about 41% of women and 26% of men have encountered violence from an intimate partner. These statistics are inherently skewed due to underreporting, driven by various factors such as fear of disbelief, hesitancy among minority groups based on past experiences with authorities, and men feeling ashamed to admit vulnerability.
If you believe that you or someone you know might be experiencing intimate partner violence, please visit the National Domestic Violence Hotline at www.thehotline.org or call at 800.799.7233 if you are concerned about your internet usage being monitored.
