In the small border city of Texarkana, there has only ever been one serial killing ever in the towns history, the 1946 moonlight murders.
On February 22,1946 two lovers crept onto Richmond Road, also known as lovers lane, to talk and cuddle. The time was 11:45 and Jimmy Hollis,24, remembered that he was supposed to have the Plymouth car home a little after midnight. He soon forgot about that. As they were talking, a shadow blocked out the moon. Jimmy looked up thinking he would see a police officer, but what he saw was not a police officer. He was startled when he saw a thing with what looked like a canvas bag over his head. The thing motioned for them to get out of the car and as Jimmy's eyes got accustomed to the dark, he noticed he had a revolver pressed against the glass pane. Jimmy immediately jumped into the back of the car, but the thing ordered them out of the car. Mary,19, and Jimmy obeyed him. Mary told him he could have there money. The thing told them if they did what he said, he would not kill them. Jimmy asked what he wanted. The thing told Jimmy to remove his trousers, but he would not. His girlfriend pleaded for him to do it and when Jimmy saw the revolver pressed against his abdomen. He obeyed and immediately after he did so the thing belted him on the head knocking him out. The thing went on to assault and rape Mary on the side of the road. When a car pulled up, the mysterious assaulter disappeared into the night without a trace.
About one month later, another murder happened.
