Bobby Joe Long: The Serial Killer a 17-Year-Old Girl Took Down
Bobby Joe Long murdered at least 10 women across Tampa, Florida between March and November 1984, evading investigators until a 17-year-old survivor's memory cracked the case wide open. The homicide investigation, later corroborated by FBI forensic evidence and Long's own confession, led to his conviction and a 1988 death sentence.A body that survived collision after collision since childhood. A marriage that fell apart after a motorcycle wreck seemed to rewire something in him completely. And then, in the middle of a killing spree that had five agencies scrambling, a Krispy Kreme employee riding home on her bike got pulled off it by a man with a gun to her head. What she did over the next 26 hours, while blindfolded and terrified, is the reason this case ever got solved at all. This is the story of Bobby Joe Long, the women he killed, and the teenager who out-thought him and spent the rest of her life making sure he never touched anyone else.
