Dark Waters: Arthur Shawcross Day 12: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas
On the 12th Nightmare Before Christmas…
The Genesee River flows peacefully through Rochester today, but it still holds a dark memory from the late 1980s. Back then, it became the hunting ground of Arthur Shawcross. He had already served time for murder but was let out early, even though experts warned he was still dangerous.
Soon after he arrived, a terrifying pattern emerged: people disappeared near the waterfront, only to be found later along the riverbanks, each death showing the work of a disturbed mind.
Join Cam and Jen as they discuss “Dark Waters: Arthur Shawcross.”
Well, folks, we've finally made it to the end of our 8th Annual 12 Nightmares Before Christmas and the end of 2025. We're exhausted and definitely need therapy, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
Thank you for spending another year with us. We’ve talked about more murders than any “normal” human should, and you’re still here, clicking play like champions. We appreciate every one of you who listens week after week. You are what keeps us going.
We'll be back on January 14th, 2026, with more true crime cases. Until then, lock your doors, and keep passing those open windows!
Have a safe and spectacular New Year.
Love ya!
Cam & Jen
