The Phantom Killer /// Part 2 /// 888
Part 2 of 2
www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

Few of the True Crime stories we have covered become a legend. This story has. In part that might be because the murderous monster that committed several murders in Texarkana in 1946 seemed to come out of nowhere. The hunter quickly was named the Phantom Killer. Then 10 weeks after the attacks began, the Phantom vanished. The Phantom Killer stalked and hunted young adults and teens on the streets of Texarkana always on the weekend from February 22nd through May 3rd. Texarkana became the "Town that Dreaded Sundown." The killer truly was a phantom in every sense. To this day the folks in the Texas, Arkansas border town still talk about the Phantom Killer and the Texarkana Moonlight Murders.

Dark Side of the Mountain /// Part 2 /// 883

Part 2 of 2

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

Two men - each possibly grappling with his own version of a mid-life crisis - vanish 10 months apart from the same, tiny town in the Colorado Rockies under eerily similar circumstances. In September of 1987, a 47-year-old man and his faithful dog vanished from the near-ghost town of Silver Plume, Colorado. Months later in August 1988 another man, staring down the barrel of 50 years of age, retraced the missing man’s steps to investigate the mystery - and he too - disappeared. This is the true story of Tom Young who went missing on the dark side of the mountain, and too the story of Keith Reinhard who may have vanished forever.
