Robert Eugene Brashers was a serial killer and rapist who got away with murders. He was only proved to be a "serial killer" 20 years after he killed himself!

Now in the recent past, another cold case has been tied to Brashers - the 1998 murder of Linda Rutledge in Lexington, Kentucky. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack break down the evidence that ties Brashers to both of those crimes as well as several more!
