E149: Tony Alvin Ables

Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

(note: time stamps are without ads & may be off a little)

This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of Tony Ables, a black man in St Petersburg, Florida, who was convicted of two murders and connected via DNA to two others.

We dive into the setting (14:54), the killers early life (35:05) and the timeline (37:08). Then, we get into the investigation & arrest (43:47), "Where are they now?" (53:38) followed by our takeaways and what we think made the perp snap (56:57).

As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and our shout outs (01:00:27).

Researched and scripted by Minnie Williams.
