It's interesting that they say he might be ex-military. The fact he killed 6 in a 30 day period and then stopped for a considerable time, makes me wonder if he was still in the military, and was home on leave. Perhaps they could check military records to see if there were any soldiers that had leave during the 2 periods of killing.

[@angeladowden4535]

My thoughts too... 6 in 30.days is alarming...😢

[@charlesgerety1403]

The customer who came face to face with him said the guy had very droopy tired looking eyes. Also that he seemed extremely calm and unconcerned about anything like in a trance

[@williamsalin3509]

Phelps is a masterful true crime writer!

[@jeffcampbell2710]

He's read the comments. Probably checks them from time to time. Maybe even commented.

[@charlesgerety1403]

He's probably still alive just living normal

[@jeshkam]

Maybe it's you?

[@mbotch8128]

Dude calls 911 and cops arrive an hour after the incident, they might have been able to save the one girl if they got there earlier wow

[@Lifewithpersians]

So true!

[@monsterego22]

The survivor in the Houston case said the suspect was notably short--in fact, she even thought he could pass as a horse jockey. Yet, the I-70 killer is often described as at least 5'7" to 5'8" (possibly taller). 5'7" is not exactly distinctly short, especially not short enough to be noticed as such or as even a jockey. I also read the FBI believes the 2001 liquor store killer may have been slightly over 6'0." I heard they even measured the shelves in the store. A man within average height range (like 5'7"-5'9"), often used to described the 1992 killer, doesn't fit the 2001 and Texas cases. Height, unlike hair amd complexion, cant be changed or hidden.

[@jeffcampbell2710]

BTK stopped for decades. So they do stop.

[@frankblack8266]

Shame cops show up a hour after a call of robbery pitiful

[@joanmayer304]

I read that as “after the incident” not after the ‘call’. It may be that he stayed some time post attack and that this is the ‘incident’. If it was one hour post ‘call’ then that is egregious. ❤️ from 🇨🇦

[@charlesgerety1403]

The items this guy handled had no DNA profile on them which is very unfortunate and frustrating

[@scallopohare9431]

I have noncombat PTSD. Like others, I do not go looking for trouble. That said, he could be military. Most are decent human beings, but some are predators.

[@joe18425]

Weird that ! The I-70 is well travelled by military personnel 😮

[@cyclone8974]

Linking it to PTSD is so lazy and insulting to people that have it.

[@ryanchoate9146]

Instead of calling him the 1-70 killer we should’ve called him the Coward Killer! How has this guy not been caught yet? How did he not leave fingerprints or dna at any of the crime scenes?

[@praxym9293]

I think cause he didn't really touch any of his victims n maybe used gloves when handling bullets

[@charlesgerety1403]

So true. It's not brave sneaking up on random women and doing what he did

[@ghmonroe9872]

People have to eat, and people have to sleep. Tim Hickman saw the guy walking from the direction of the grocery store. Grocery stores were some of the first to get video. I wonder if the police collected video from all grocery stores near crime scenes in the 30 minutes before shootings. I wonder if they collected guest logs from all motels along I70 during that time frame.

[@sharonharding3478]

Enjoyed that one where is he now

[@B1ackDahlia767]

There's a a theory he's been identified, & it's said he is likely deceased. They've yet to release a name.

Forgive yourself Tim.

I used jewellers rouge when l used to electroplate gold, silver and nickel.

[@motheaten42]

The police took over an hour to show up to a scene with an armed man who had two potential hostages? Great day for law enforcement. No wonder he was hard to catch, he wasn't murdering in police stations or donut stores.

[@elizabethhighburg8683]

Amen. Oh what a Savior,ehat a Healer , Protector and Immanuel..great are your faithfulness 🎤😲🙌 ❤

[@user-jo8yr1zo9k]

What is a Tell a type? and how does it work? i would like to know.

[@highplains]

* teletype...kinda like early fax machine technology. Someone would punch some details into a machine at one location, then send it to another location where it would be printed out. I believe phone landlines were used to transmit the information

[@markkuhexen-sonderauftrag7760]

Pulling the victims pants down was about the killer thinking that she was still alive and he checked that if her digestive system had emptied (after person dies the body will relax totally). Se he did that instead of leaving fingerprints on the body.

[@danielknopsnyder6777]

He sounds like a big rig driver. Doing the killings on his route coast to coast

[@_andre007]

I mean his attire seems to fit a more casual lifestyle, but raven is a truck driver

[@chriswest7639]

7:27 this guy talking is creepy af

Poor innocent animals do not behave like this why insult them?

Just about any animal wth teeth put in a situation like no food they will eat u .most of them

[@satadruray9787]

Agree with you wholeheartedly

[@orionxtc1119]

hmmmmm...... many animals eat other animals...and even eat them alive

[@lildoveable]

I think I love you. My sentiments exactly

[@scallopohare9431]

It's a figure of speech.

[@LaurieMarieValdezRNCCRN]

???😢

[@anthonycrowley2778]

The killers time scale could point a vacation term. But as far as the state of his mind there are clues but what he speaks to himself when he is alone or what satisfaction he feels or gloats on is a mystery

[@icauser44]

I saw the People Investigates on this guy. I was left angry bc it leaves you totally hanging. That show was created in 2023, and in the show, they went into depth about the items being checked for DNA through forensics. They made it sound like it just happened or it was ongoing. Turns out, after seeing Wikipedia, that DNA testing was done a few years before that, and law enforcement refuse to give out the results. It just turned shady really quick. Just one ? I had about this show, Dark Minds. Does anyone know why, if this show is legit, why they would refuse to identify who this serial killer is he is interacting with? It makes absolutely no sense why his identity needs to be disguised. Serial killers love attention and they are not going to want to be incognito about this. Unless, there never was one. Disguising the voice, the image, the vague no-help advice he always gives...this is also shady.

[@user-jo8yr1zo9k]

I just hate to hear that innocent people are being killed for kicks. It is 🤮🤮

[@anthonycrowley2778]

Perhaps he undressed the surviving victim to try to mislead or confuse investigators

[@franzhose2388]

He is way too organised for PTSD!

[@cyclone8974]

PTSD doesn't mean you're insane. Like this show is trying to present.

[@vincentdavidson755]

Their are physics that have help catch these creeps they should contact some of them in Calif that have work for the police And fbi

[@stevemartin6144]

Ha! Physics! What a comedian!

[@buddapudgie8482]

The detectives in this case should contact Matt Fraser the psychic and maybe he could help them.

[@catherinecoetzee8888]

This case is easy. His wife or girlfriend was working in a shot, and another guy came along and stole her or she chose the other guy and moved away with him. He's still looking for her. Why he does not look at the girls, They do not look like his ex, but they will pay for what she did to him

[@phhdvm]

Ah M Wm. Phelps. All I need to know. He's unbearable. Ill keep looking for something to watch.

[@tonyhodges8580]

Pump gas. You’re not gonna make it as a narrator !

[@ficationsare6552]

Me 30 seconds in: "Aw man! Not this guy!"

[@wizcoolc1]

He's Mr. Obvious, he says the obvious stuff like( he gets up in the morning and eats breakfast).

[@asahel980]

Im not a fan of this host, lacking and sometime a bit cringe, and serial killers also stop for a lot of reasons not just because theyre dead or incarcerated, BTK and the golde state killer stop and went on to have a life till theyre tracked and caught, I believe Ive heard if something happened in their lives sometimes it can trigger things in my opinion some are afraid to be caught so afraid that they stopped, because they know if they continue its inevitable.

[@joe18425]

Ps: raven is fake 😮

[@dinatocco4403]

Pps: that's incorrect. Do some research.

[@face2158]

Raven was The Happy Face Killer.. and Phelps put that out there in 2017

[@insidetheobamium9907]

If his sister in law was murdered 🕯️ ; her murderer has never been caught 😳😢 our narrator is obsessed with serial killers 🥴 shouldn't he be one of the suspects 🥴😳

[@B1ackDahlia767]

🙄

[@user-rc6bw6hj2k]

Lol Dido prob another cop❤

[@gary467]

He looks familar to me

[@ardenalexa94]

I’d get what you mean if he admired them , but he’s visibly disgusted by them, often. Trauma changes you. Someone getting murdered that you were close to or knew, is a hard trauma to overcome I imagine. In my opinion that’s why he focuses on killers so much.
