About this listen
In 1978, someone started targeting the most vulnerable people in Los Angeles—men living on the streets of Skid Row. Over the course of a year, eleven of them were stabbed to death. The press called the killer the “Skid Row Stabber,” but despite witness accounts, a creepy bathroom confession, and a guy named Luther who may or may not have existed, the murders stayed unsolved.
Then police arrested Bobby Joe Maxwell—a guy with a rough past, a questionable knife, and a diary full of Satanic ramblings. It was enough to land him in prison for life. But here’s the thing: the evidence against Bobby never really added up. No real forensics. Witnesses who later recanted. A jailhouse snitch who turned out to be full of it.
This episode walks through how the case fell apart, who got away with what, and what happens when the system just needs someone to take the fall. It’s about broken trust, vulnerable lives, and a killer who may still be a ghost in the city’s memory.
