## Resource

In 1972, a friendly stranger named Art took two boys fishing in upstate New York—and only one ever came home. What followed was a catastrophic failure of justice that allowed a known child killer to walk free, reinvent himself, and go on to murder a dozen more victims as the Genesee River Killer. This is the story of how Arthur Shawcross slipped through the cracks, and the lives he destroyed because of it. Listen completely ad-free with a 7-day FREE trial of ⁠Crimehub Premium⁠.
