Episode Description from the Publisher

It was 1981 in Naperville, IL. A woman, who lived alone, woke up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. In her groggy state, she walked out of her bedroom and saw a man she didn't know stabbed to death on her living room floor. It was 18-year-old Charles Huber and he had been stabbed 28 times... and right on top of him was her boyfriend, Bruce Lindahl, who had also been stabbed.  Naperville was not a place that had double homicides so the police were stumped. It would take investigators over 40 years before they fully understood what they saw that night; and it was much bigger than anyone realized  Produced by Jacob Hollabaugh Sponsors: -TaskRabbit: ⁠Taskrabbit.com⁠ Use code THEWORST for $15 off your first task -Goodles: ⁠Goodles.com⁠ Available at Target, Walmart, and other retailers -OSEA: ⁠Oseamalibu.com⁠ Use code THEWORST for 10% off your first order  -Quince: ⁠Quince.com/theworst⁠ for free shipping + 365-day returns -Ruggable: ⁠Ruggable.com⁠ Use code PATW for 10% off your first order -Shopify: ⁠Shopify.com/WORST⁠ for a $1/month trial Learn more about your ad choices.
