The Deadly Web of Maine Serial Killer James Hicks, Part Two
About this episode
1996 - Brewer, Maine.
In 1996, Lynn Willette, a maintenance worker in Brewer, Maine went missing... her boyfriend? Convicted murderer James Hicks. Police can't pin him down for the crime, so he flees the state in search of a normal life.
But the underlying rage of a dangerous man can’t stay quiet for long, and a nightmare was about to be unleashed on a sleepy Texas town.
This is the story of James Hicks, the serial killer next door that you've never heard of, and the three innocent women who got tangled up in a web they couldn't escape.
***NOTE FROM KRISTEN: This was the very first episode I ever recorded and edited for Murder, She Told over 5 years ago, and I am aware there are imperfections that come with being a novice. If you are starting the show here, I also recommend giving a newer episode a shot to get a taste of what the show currently sounds like. Thank you!***
Special thanks to Police Chief Jim Ricker for sharing his first hand account.
