Episode 552: The Nightmare on Hickory Street

Oct 21

On the evening of January 9th, 2013, Eric Glover and Terrance Rankins were invited to a home on North Hickory Street in Joliet, Illinois. They thought they were just going for a casual hang, but Alisa Massaro, Bethany McKee, Joshua Miner, and Adam Landerman had different plans. Eric and Terrance were strangled to death and when police arrived at the home after getting a call about what happened at the house, they found that the group had continued partying after killing the men. The horrific murders became known as “The Nightmare on Hickory Street”, and Eric and Terrance lost their lives in such a senseless manner.
