Case 121: The Freeway Phantom
It was a balmy afternoon on Sunday April 25 1971 in the United States capitol of Washington D.C. Allenteen Spinks left her apartment on Wahler Place Southeast in Congress Heights, a neighbourhood in the states southwest, to visit an aunt who lived on the other side of town. Before she left, Allenteen warned her children they were not to leave while she was gone.

Oh this was such a rough listen. Those poor girls.
Best case in a while!
I can't pinpoint what exactly made this episode different, but it haunts me knowing that such depravity can be committed for so long and without closure. We all hope that stories like this will end in a miracle finding like the Golden State Killer, but as the years go on, most of these killers die with their secret.
Excellent episode! One of the best ones in a long while. Frustrating that it’s unsolved though.
I love how y'all gave the date right away. :)
There doesn't seem to be a way to download the episode like usual. Did Patreon change something?
Just received an email from another podcast I am a patron of and they said Patreon has removed the download option. This stinks for those of us that don't stream on our phones :(
Unsolved Casefile episodes are always my least favorite, but happy to be a supporter
Never heard of this case! Awesome work thank you
This is my favorite podcast. 😁 I also lived in the DC area for a period and have never heard of this case. However the description of the geography confused me or perhaps I heard wrong. I think it was stated that Virginia was a 3 hour drive from DC. But Virginia borders DC so parts of Virginia are reachable within minutes from DC.
Came here to say the same thing — DC is across the river from Virginia. I also am a former Washingtonian!
Great research, awesome work, this one is new to me
Yes. Good coverage but a frustrating. :(
Wow! I’ve lived in DC and adjoining counties my whole life and have never heard of this case!
I'm not from that area, but this case was also new to me! Have you listened yet?
