Shadows of the Highway: Dr No, the Ohio Prostitute Killer
It was any day. Marcia King woke up and went about her day not knowing that it was going to be her last. Marcia, a prostitute, made her way to a truck stop where she would converse with truckers via CB or face-to-face to exchange sexual favors for rides or cash. Unfortunately, she came into contact with the wrong trucker. That trucker was Dr. No, as he called himself on the CB. Dr. No isolated her, took her to a rural location, assaulted her, and then murdered her. He left her body in an area near a major highway.Dr. No repeated this act in that sequence in the murders of eight more women. It's suspected that the body count could be up to 12. Who was Dr. No? How did he elude the authorities?

The Tylenol Murders
In 1982, seven people died from Tylenol contaminated by cyanide. It resulted in the largest voluntary recall in U.S. history up until that point. Tylenol was pulled off of the shelves, law enforcement canvassed neighborhoods with bullhorns, and the health department was going door-to-door. This also spawned over 270 copycat cases. There were two suspects in this case and we are going to exam them and everything that transpired.
