Texarkana is a small town that straddles the state line between Texas and Arkansas, and in the spring of 1946 an unidentified assailant attacked eight people in the span of ten weeks. Five of them were killed. The news media named him the "Phantom Killer"
Between February 22 to May 3, 1946, this killer who only struck on weekends, terrorized a town. Police suspected that because he would not kill during a weekday, he held down a steady job, or perhaps he lived elsewhere and would drive to Texarkana to commit the crimes.
