E245: SERIAL KILLER - Howell Emanuel Donaldson III

Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

This week Beth and Wendy discuss the case of Howell Emanuel Donaldson III, who shocked the nation in 2017 when he was arrested for a string of seemingly random killings in Tampa, Florida. Dubbed the Seminole Heights Killer, Donaldson targeted four victims over 51 days, sparking fear and a massive manhunt. A break came when he handed a coworker a bag containing the murder weapon, leading to his arrest and eventual conviction.

This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams.Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop on Thursdays, so until next time... look alive guys, it's crazy out there!
