Kenneth McDuff Part 2

Grab a beer and join us tonight as wrap up our series on Kenneth McDuff! Last week we covered the Broomstick Murders and the series of decisions that put him back on the street in 1989. Tonight we follow what happened next. We'll walk through the early 1990s killing spree that included the abduction of Melissa Northrup from a Waco convenience store and the abduction of Colleen Reed from an Austin car wash, the investigators who refused to let the cases go cold, and how a fugitive warrant and an appearance on America's Most Wanted finally brought McDuff down working as a garbage truck driver in Kansas City. Then we'll cover the trials, the 1998 execution, and the legislative fallout that followed — because the McDuff case didn't just end with a lethal injection. It blew up the Texas parole system and changed the way the state handles violent offenders to this day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
