Summary

This podcast trailer introduces a chilling true crime story set in 2016 Newark, where a seemingly polite young man, Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, committed serial murders against Black women and girls. Despite disappearances, police initially failed to identify the predator. The series highlights the harrowing experiences of the victims, the disbelief faced by a survivor, and the extraordinary efforts of women who ultimately took justice into their own hands to unmask him.

Episode description

In 2016, a serial killer was preying on Black women and girls he thought no one would miss — and getting away with it. Police in New Jersey never suspected that Khalil Wheeler-Weaver, a nerdy-looking, polite young man from a law enforcement family, was the one stalking the streets and dating apps for his next target.
The journalists behind “Father Wants Us Dead” — called one of the best true crime podcasts of all time by Entertainment Weekly — bring you a deeply-reported true crime story of a serial killer hiding in plain sight and the women who took him down.

Transcript

He looks like a little boy, but I think he's a predator. There's no doubt about it. It was the fall of 2016, and girls were disappearing from Newark, New Jersey, one after another. But there was no press conference, no scary headlines. No one suspected the truth. He looked nice. Like if you look at him you don't look at him and think he's a serial killer.

This is Someone's Hunting Us, a podcast from the creators of Father Wants Us Dead. It's the story of a serial killer you've never heard of and the woman who took him down, including the One woman who escaped. They didn't even believe her. I feel like they let him get away. He seemed just like a polite, skinny 20-year-old with glasses. But he murdered again and again. If you would have known, you wouldn't have helped. But these women saw what he really was.

I didn't know what I was doing, but I felt as though I had to do something. Imagine your sister or your best friend just disappeared. No calls, no tucks, and the police say they can't locate her. What wouldn't you do to try to find her? Would you become the investigator? Would you catfish a serial killer? Listen to Someone's Hunting Us wherever you get your podcasts.
