Lee Purchase hosts this series of discussions regarding an incident from a few decades back that has remained an unsolved and unpunished crime for many years. If you’ve ever found yourself drawn in by the likes of Radiolab, crime scene studies, or story-telling shows from the past, this is undoubtedly something that will interest you. The truth element intrigues and fascinates, historical accuracy combines with genuine personal interest and subsequently gathers your interest as a listener thanks to that subtle enthusiasm and intricate consideration.
On the evening of February 5th 1997, Richard Aderson was on his way home when he and an unknown motorist had a minor collision. Moments later, the unidentified male shot Richard once in the chest and quickly disappeared into the night. Aderson crawled back to his vehicle and called 911, where he provided the make, model and license plate of the fleeing vehicle. He also described his shooter as a white male, 6 feet tall, between 40 & 50 years old. Tragically, Richard Aderson may not have known it at the time BUT he was describing his KILLER.
