About
In March of 1987, Sheila Washington was walking near East Colfax Avenue, which was once dubbed the “longest, wickedest street in America," when a stranger in a blue Concord offered her a ride. That afternoon turned into a fight for survival when he tried to strangle her, exposing 34-year-old Vincent Darrell Groves: a prolific yet largely unknown Colorado serial killer.
Decades later, dedicated cold case units and modern DNA testing are finally holding him accountable for a long list of cold cases and bringing long-overdue answers to grieving families.
Join Jen and Cam as they piece together the many cold cases and DNA evidence that finally brought Vincent Darrell Groves to light.
