Terror on the Tracks: The 1999 Manhunt for a Drifting Predator

True Crime

About this episode

In the summer of 1999, a wave of brutal home-invasion murders swept across Texas, leaving communities paralyzed with fear. The killer seemed to appear and vanish without a trace, his path eerily following the railroad lines that crisscrossed the state. Facing a unique and mobile predator, the FBI assembled a special task force to hunt the man who would become known as the "Railroad Killer." Unravel the mystery alongside the Bureau's greatest profilers and forensic scientists as they work to create a portrait of a dangerous drifter, using geographic profiling and public appeals to finally put a name to the phantom and stop his deadly journey along the American rails.
