Students at Maryville College in East Tennessee are working on a long-forgotten mystery.
Between 1919 and 1926, east Tennessee was terrorized by a serial killer dubbed the “Night Marauder” by the press. Whoever this fiend was, his attacks inspired terror, violence, and chaos on the streets of Knoxville, Alcoa, and Maryville. This blog will feature the work of Dr. Nancy Locklin and her trusted research assistants as they unravel the case of the Night Marauder.
