In the mid-1980s, the streets of Tampa, Florida became hunting grounds for one of the most ruthless predators in the state’s history: Bobby Joe Long, also known as the Hillsborough Strangler and the Classified Ad Rapist. Between 1984 and 1985, Bobby abducted innocent women and dragged them from dimly lit roadsides into a nightmare that ended with sexual assault, torture, and typically strangulation. By the time investigators finally closed in, Bobby had murdered at least ten women and assaulted many more. In this episode, we explore Bobby’s childhood, his complicated relationship with his mother, and the twisted path that led him from a troubled boy to the man who terrorized Tampa.
