03 Florida Spree Killer, William Cruse

03 Florida Spree Killer, William Cruse

On April 23, 1987 crazed and mentally ill William Cruse killed 6 people, and injured 14 others at 2 shopping centers in Palm Bay, FL. He also took hostages and there was a standoff with police that lasted hours. And there's a whole lot more in this story as well. As far as I could find, we're the first podcast to cover this story.  Join Bill and Todd as they tell this story that put their hometown on national news. 

We also spotlight a local legend named Chris Long, whose band, Dead Serios wrote a song about this incident called "I Wanna Force Feed William Cruse."
