It started with an old cold case. Now, as the question of who killed Little Miss Panasoffkee dances around in our brains, only one name seems to make complete sense. Trouble is, no one talks about it.

The case starts at the 34 minutes mark.

If there has been one boogeyman who has followed Tripping on Legends around since the beginning, it has been serial killer Gerald John Schaefer. From the Devil’s Tree to Shiloh to Rolling Acres, he’s popped in to let us know to #followthesigns. Join Christopher Balzano as he brainstorms a new project with Paradise After Dark looking at a man who’s myth has been plaguing the state for over 60 years, even after death.
