Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color
True Crime
This week Beth and Wendy discuss Charles “Junior” Jackson, AKA The East Bay Slayer, a serial killer active in Oakland, California between 1975 and 1982. He was identified as the killer only a few years after his death, based on results from DNA profiling. Jackson is suspected of committing several more murders during the 1970s and 1980s around the Oakland area, in which at least 5 other serial killers were also operating at the same time.
