The Long Haul examines America’s interstate highway system as an unintentional hunting ground for serial killers who exploited mobility, anonymity, and jurisdictional gaps to evade detection. From the FBI’s Highway Serial Killings Initiative to terrifying case studies of long-haul truckers like Robert Ben Rhoades, Dellmus Colvin, Bruce Mendenhall, and Keith Jesperson, this episode exposes how highways became corridors of opportunity, and how marginalized victims are systematically erased between exits. This is a deep dive into forgotten murders, fractured investigations, and the dark truth that some of the deadliest crime scenes in America are still moving.
