What do bikers, bus stops, and Blockbuster have in common? Find out as Eli and Mel throw down with the beach bums to give you the gruesome details of Hawaii’s first serial murders, a mid-80’s nightmare that left five women dead and the cops without a single lead. Was it a sleazy patron of the local video store? Was it a mainland killer taking a vacation? Was it the guy in the super suspicious creepy van whose name was literally on a post-it note found on a victim’s desk and who went to the police to show them exactly where the last body could be found? Who knows! Unsolved for decades, the Honolulu Strangler might never be identified, not even by a psychic in… Hawaii!
