Episode 331: The Murders of Kathleen Jo Henry and Veronica Abouchuk

Two women with families who loved them. One vicious serial killer who recorded his crimes. He may have evaded capture without the brave actions of yet a third woman who helped bring justice to the victims’ families. But now authorities believe these victims weren't his last. This week's episode is The Murders of Kathleen Jo Henry and Veronica Abouchuk (Uh-bow-chuck).
