In 1946, years before the phrase ""serial murder"" was coined, a
masked killer terrorised the town of Texarkana on the
Texas-Arkansas border. Striking five times within a ten-week
period, always at night, the prowler claimed six lives and left
three other victims wounded. Survivors told police that their
assailant was a man, but could supply little else. A local
newspaper dubbed him the Phantom Killer, and it stuck. Other
reporters called the faceless predator the ""Moonlight Murderer,""
though the lunar cycle had nothing to do with the crimes.
Texarkana's phantom was not America's first serial slayer; he
certainly was not the worst, either in body count or sheer
brutality. But he has left a crimson mark on history as one of
those who got away. Like the elusive Axeman of New Orleans,
Cleveland's Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run, and San Francisco's
Zodiac, the Phantom Killer left a haunting mystery behind. This is
the definitive story of that mystery.
