S1.E93 - John Arthur Getreu: Santa Clara’s Predator Hidden in Plain Sight
Season 1 Episode 93
In this episode, Cat, Rachel, and Em take a somber look at the life and crimes of John Arthur Getreu - a man who lived quietly in the shadows for decades while carrying the weight of horrific murders but not denying a single word.
From his early conviction overseas to the cold cases that haunted Stanford University for nearly half a century, we trace how advances in DNA finally brought the truth to light.
This is not a story of mystery or myth, but one of long-delayed justice for the women whose lives he stole.
