Episode 54: Wayne Adam Ford a Killer in the Redwoods

A KILLER IN THE REDWOODS.

 

On Monday, November 2, 1998 Wayne Adam Ford walked into the Eureka Sherriff’s Department in Humboldt County, California saying he didn’t want to hurt people anymore. In his pocket was a woman’s severed breast.

 

For years the community had lived in terror as body parts were found in waterways and beaches, and, working as a long haul truck driver, Wayne had left a string of victims across the state, just how many we’ll never know.

 

Join us as we delve into the life and mind of the rarest of serial killers, one who not only appears remorseful, but ended his murder spree by turning himself over to the police.
