But he has an alibi that has left this case unsolved for nearly three decades. Season 5 of Felonious Florida: The Altidor Massacre will be available on May 6.

Introducing Felonious Florida: In the Darkness Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

An elusive serial rapist is on the prowl in South Florida during the height of Miami's cocaine-fueled crime wave in the early 1980s. He is a cunning, dangerous predator who stalks women, then ambushes them late at night in the safety of their own homes. He becomes known as the Pillowcase Rapist for the way he hides his identity. None of his victims ever sees his face and he leaves behind virtually no clues. For four decades, he evades capture despite one of the most ambitious crime-stopping efforts in South Florida history. Now, an extraordinary stroke of luck may have finally cracked the case. Who was the man beneath the pillowcase? And how did he escape capture for so many years?

Season 4 of Felonious Florida, "In the Darkness," is coming March 14 exclusively on Wondery Plus. Find Wondery Plus on Apple Podcasts or in the Wondery app.

You'll hear firsthand accounts from survivors who were subjected to violence, psychological torture, and forced sex work, as well as expert analysis from top legal and psychological minds.
