- 123 • Mr. Krebs (00:31:26)
www.patreon.com/darktopic for exclusive content. Or sub to Apple +In the late 90’s, residents of San Luis Obispo were concerned that a serial killer may be on the loose following the disappearance of two Cal Poly Tech students within a two year span, followed by yet another bright young woman abducted on her way to study at Cal. A massive police effort would soon bring to light a separate killer than that of the original, highly publicized Kristin Smart case. This all thanks to the work of a parole officer whom thought to question a recently released inmate he referenced as being short and stocky, yet agile. Mr. Krebs.
