Lauren Lee Malloy, a private detective and founder of “Unsolved R.I” is making a push online to shine a new light on the notorious “New Bedford Highway Murders”. She recently wrote a summary of the story on twitter along with a push for a new effort to find justice.
“I hope and pray for the day a team comes together to focus on getting answers and justice for these victims discarded along stretches of highway in New England. If he is still alive, I hope NBHK knows he’s being hunted and it’s only a matter of time before he will pay for his evil crimes.”
There’s one case that’s haunted me for years — the New Bedford Highway Serial Killer.
Eleven suspected victims, only nine found.

Users were tagging Ashley Flowers, and to be honest there is a great chance this story could get featured on the podcast as they have featured way lower profile cases.
@CrimeJunkiePod @Ash_Flowers have y’all covered this case before? I can’t remember but if you haven’t, you should! ? Not a lot of people have heard about this one
