Inspector Story

The Tooth Collector: The Charming Man Who Made Women Disappear

July 13, 2026·32 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Chip Toothacre was one of the most charming men in his small Georgia town. Women trusted him, neighbors admired him, and his habit of collecting locks of hair was dismissed as romantic. Then women began disappearing. Even after another man was arrested, the disappearances continued. It was not until Sue Rummage followed Chip home that the truth began to surface: a hidden cellar, jars containing hundreds of human teeth, and a garden holding the remains of women the town had spent years searching for. But before police could arrest him, Chip vanished. This fictional Southern Gothic horror story explores charm as camouflage, obsession disguised as affection, and the terrifying possibility that the real monster may be the person everyone trusts.
