About this episode
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, there were a high number of sexual assaults in the South Hill section of Spokane, Washington. The authorities created a task force to catch this predator that the media dubbed "The South Hill Rapist." It would take some time but, eventually, authorities closed in on a man named Kevin Coe, whose father was the managing editor of The Spokane Chronicle. When the true extent of Kevin's crimes came out they were shocking. The authorities believe that he is responsible for more than 50 sexual assaults during a relatively short time period. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of Kevin Coe. In this first part of a two part series, we'll explore Kevin's early life and the strange relationship that he had with his mother Ruth. We'll detail out some of the crimes for which he would later be tried and talk about the tactics that the task force used to close in on him.
