    The Boy Scout Leader Who Waited 45 Years

    A 74-year-old man stepped out to a fender bender and was immediately handcuffed, congratulating the officers on their "trick." He had been waiting 45 years for that moment, a chilling detail that reveals a lifetime of hidden secrets. What did he know that made him so calm?

    In this episode, we uncover the shocking true story of John Arthur Getreu, a man who built a seemingly normal life after committing horrific crimes. From a dance in Germany in 1963 to the quiet hills of Stanford in the 1970s, this is the story of how invisible evidence finally brought a killer to justice.

    Person: John Arthur Getreu
    Victim 1: Leslie Marie Pearlov
    Victim 2: Janet Taylor
    Victim 3: Margaret Williams
    Method: Strangulation

    - In 1963, 15-year-old Margaret Williams was assaulted and strangled in Germany; John Arthur Getreu was sentenced to 10 years but released after 6.
    - In 1973, 21-year-old Leslie Marie Pearlov's body was found near Stanford Dish, strangled with her own floral scarf.
    - In 1974, 21-year-old Janet Taylor was found less than two miles from Leslie's body, killed with the same method.
    - John Arthur Getreu worked as a security guard near Stanford campus, living within reach of the crime scenes.
    - Advances in forensic DNA technology allowed a sample from beneath Leslie Pearlov's fingernails to identify Getreu in 2018.
