Johnny Altinger wasn’t reckless. He didn’t take chances, didn’t skip plans, didn’t just disappear. So when he vanished after a first date with a woman he’d met online, his friends knew something was wrong. What began with a gut feeling soon spiraled into a case stranger than fiction, one that led police to a rented garage, and the warped imagination of an aspiring filmmaker obsessed with a fictional character. This wasn’t a date gone wrong. It was a performance. This wasn’t just a murder. It was a script. One the killer intended to rewrite, again and again.★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)Music from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7★ To see todays case photos head over to the Cup of Coffee and Crime Facebook Discussion Group★ To support the show and keep me caffeinated, you are now able to Buy Me a Coffee :)★ Taking a few minutes to complete a quick survey is such a huge way to help http://bit.ly/cupofcoffeeandcrime-surveyMusic from #Uppbeat :https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/midnight-strollLicense code: OCHNSIEQIVR5SLQ7 Hosted on Acast.
