EP204: The Serial Killer THEY RELEASED: Arthur Shawcross

Arthur Shawcross, the “Genesee River Killer,” murdered two children and after serving just over 14 years in prison, he was released back into society. Then women started disappearing. Their bodies began turning up around Rochester, New York, many near the Genesee River, as police searched for a serial killer they had already caught once before. By the time investigators finally connected the murders to Shawcross, he had been free for less than two years and 11 more people were dead. This is the horrifying story of a convicted child killer who was released from prison, the victims who paid the ultimate price, and how one devastating second chance allowed Arthur Shawcross to become one of New York’s most notorious serial killers.
