Case Number 31: Donald Leroy Evans, The Rest Area Killer

******WARNING: This case involves a child victim******

While on parole, Donald borrowed a neighbor's car and abandoned his Christian girlfriend to travel to Mississippi where he unfortunately met a 10 year old girl named Beatrice. His capture for the murder of Beatrice led to his confession of killing over 70 people across 20 different U.S. states. Was it true or was this his last attempt at the ultimate con job before being sentenced for murder? Tune in as Elysia unpacks what is known about this conman and self proclaimed serial killer while Savannah is bemused by the entire story.
