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.

Shifting Perceptions: From Crimes to Heroism

Welcome back to True Crime Cases! I’m your host, Lanie. Crime doesn’t change, but the law sure does.

Exploring Shifting Perceptions:

  • Over the last 100 years, countless individuals have fought for their rights and achieved progress despite ongoing struggles.
  • Civil rights, LGBTQ+ rights, indigenous peoples’ rights, and rights for women and children are some of the notable milestones in this journey.
  • In the past, women were denied voting rights, and children endured harsh labor conditions in factories.

The Ethical Dilemma of Justice:

  • The legality of capital punishment varies depending on geographical boundaries.

Special Episode: A Captivating Tale of Heroism:

  • Today’s episode takes a diversion from regular cases to present a captivating tale spanning nearly a century in the U.S.
  • Acts that were once considered crimes are now celebrated as acts of heroism.
  • Exploring ethics, shifting perceptions, and the complex world of crime.
