EP167: 17 Dead in 17 Days

In 1973, Willie Steelman and Doug Gretzler met by chance. This
meeting would end up being deadly for 17 people in Arizona and
California that same year. During a 17-day span, Willie and Doug
would kill acquaintances, strangers, and children all for what
seemed to be just for the thrill. This spree killing would leave
not only many dead behind, but dozens more traumatized over losing
their friends or loved ones. Ultimately, what they did landed them
on death row in Arizona, and neither of them saw another day of
freedom after their sentencing.
