Episode 9: “He Can’t Be That Lucky.” Kathy Sweeney digs into the string of breaks that helped Robert Brashers evade detection for decades—from an early release after attempted murder to missing firearms investigators believe are tied to multiple cases. The episode traces the .380 linked to the Yogurt Shop murders and Lexington, the missing .22 connected to the Scherer murders, and why agencies across the country still want ballistics answers.
The hunt began in a small Missouri town. Chasing a Ghost: Robert Brashers follows how new DNA testing and relentless police work identified Robert Brashers as a serial killer responsible for murders across four states - Missouri, Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky. New reporting, family voices, and investigators on the case.
