This week when PCubed and I recorded our most recent episode of our Murder and Mysteries with Massnick podcast we talked about another local case and of course he was a serial killer. I am beginning to think these guys grow on trees!!! Eugene McWatters, Jr. raped and strangled three women in Port Salerno, Florida.
We chose this case because it was just ANOTHER example to those who think these things could “never happen here.” The McWatters case isn’t that old. These murders occurred in 2004. At the end of the episode PCubed posed an interesting challenge/assignment or whatever you want to call it. He asked each listener to look at their original hometowns and see what they could find that happened there. What secrets are buried in your backyard that you don’t know about? A serial killer, maybe two or three…. something heinous in it’s history.
We will be posting this question on the Murder and Mysteries with Massnick Facebook page so that we might talk about them on the next episode. Be prepared, you might just get a private message from either myself or PCubed to see if you want to discuss your town’s history on air.
I just looked up what has happened in and around my hometown…. my actual town was on an episode of Snapped! What?!? I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with.
