SERIAL KILLER: Ward Weaver

On February 5, 1981, Robert Redford and Barbara Levoy were driving
from California to Nevada to go to Robert’s first duty station,
Nellis AFB. Along the way, their car broke down and a trucker
stopped to give them a ride. Later, Robert was found dead on
the side of the road, and for two years, Barbara was listed as a
missing person.  Investigators would get a lead in the case a
few years later when a jailhouse snitch told them someone confessed
to him. The confession came from a man named Ward Weaver Jr.
who was sitting in jail, sentenced to 38 years for false
imprisonment, rape, and other offenses and he had something to
say. Dig in with Margot as she walks you through the first two
branches in the Weaver family tree.  Be sure to subscribe to
Wife of Crime Podcast to listen to Part 2, which will be released
on April 15, 2020. Wife of Crime will discuss the next two
branches in the Weaver family tree.  This case will make you
believe there is actually a killer gene.   ----- Join the
