When it comes to serial killers, there are some things that many have in common; childhood abuse, head injuries, discipline and strictness in the name of religion, submissive parent while the other is domineering…Red Hall seemed to check many, if not all these boxes. Narcissism is also a characteristic of these types of people. Red loved to talk…and talking about his crimes was no exception!

When Little Rock PD and the Arkansas State Police questioned Red Hall, it didn’t take much longer than 2 hours to get him to start talking. And talking he did! Investigators not only got motive, but they got blow-by-blow accounts of each death.

This week Tiff will take you through Red’s confession and account on what happened each day, on the roads, while hitchhiking. If his story hasn’t convinced you yet to not hitchhike, perhaps this one will…

This is part 3 of our season finale deep dive covering The Arkansas Hitchhike Killer James Wayber ‘Red’ Hall. Please listen to episodes 89 and 90 before you listen to this one!
