Gainesville FL, Aug 1990. 5 college students are murdered over the course of 3 days as the fall semester begins at the University of FL, Investigators would have a suspected and would be on the hunt for him, but does the evidence point to him? The way these students are murdered is almost like it's straight out of a horror movie; but it's not even close to a movie. This is UCF college in the beginning of the fall semester and police are a step behind until they catch a break. Ever watch a horror movie, or even a TV show and have the thought of whether or not it was based off of or inspired by a true crime story? It has happened more times than you may think. This tale of true crime had the same effect on someone as it inspired them to write a screen play for a horror movie, which we’ll get into at the end of the case. This is the debut episode for the Campfire Crime Chronicles, a true crime podcast, welcome to the initial lighting of the campfire, where we discuss the dark world of true crime.  Thank you for joining me around the campfire for this dark and dreary Halloween; for the case, of, the Gainesville ripper.  Thank you to our sponsor BetterHelp who sponsors the Campfire Crime Chronicles.
