S. 8 Ep. 10 Murders of Pittman and Puckett

8 Recommendations

This episode could be in fact on the Fear Thy Neighbor television show. But as far as I know it isn't...Sue Pittman and Christine Puckett were two lesbians very much in love. Their neighbor James Brooks, loathed the two women and put an end to their existence. Also part of this story includes Christine's son Josh, who after his mom's murder, wandered aimlessly through life as a teenager and then found himself wrongly imprisoned at the age of 18.
True Crime Quickie is another story of neighbor homophobic hate in New Hampshire. The case of Charlene Ranstrom and Brenda Warner.

The gay man would leave with the sketch artist and he would never be seen alive again. The sketch artist became known as the Doodler. An unidentified serial killer who slain between 5 and 14 men. 3 men survived the Doodler and told their stories but the Dooder is still at large.
