The Man the River Gave Back: Arthur Shawcross
On January 3, 1990, a police helicopter over the Genesee River spots a body in the ice — and a man on the bridge above it, watching. His name is Arthur Shawcross. New York had already locked him up for killing two children, then let him out. In the twenty-one months that followed, eleven more women died. Host Alexander Lawson traces the Watertown murders of Jack Blake and Karen Ann Hill, the parole that sent Shawcross to Rochester, and the killings that earned him the name Genesee River Killer. A story about what the state knew, what it sealed, and how a river gave him back.
