About this listen

 This is a true story. For twenty years in the heart of Kansas, a serial rapist has been preying on female students at two large universities—Kansas State and the University of Kansas. He has stalked them to their off-campus apartments and in the middle of the night appeared in their bedrooms. The “Kansas College Rapist” has committed at least 15 attacks, but after years of investigations and over a thousand leads he is still at large. Now and for the first time, survivors of his attacks are stepping forward to tell their stories and publicly expose details about his crimes. Together, with the local police in Kansas and the U.S. Marshals, the series Midwest Monster is working to help to identify and capture the Kansas College Rapist.©2021 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2020 Audible, Inc.

Brilliant true crime series but truly terrifying at the same time! Absolutely awful what happened to these girls, I cannot begin to imagine what they went through, I hope they find the sick bastard.

I feel for these brave survivors and cannot understand how in this day and age he remains at large. They need their closure. Hopefully they will be able to catch this monster

Excellent true crime series and terrifying at the same time. My heart goes out to all the victims who went through this.

Gripping

From the outset I found this podcast to be spine-tingling. The ladies' accounts of their attacks was devastating and I think they're so brave for telling their stories.

Terrifying

Took far too long to tell us that the case remains unresolved . The title , I thought, was deceptive. There was way too much repetition.

Took far too long to get to the point

I don’t really know the point in this as it isn’t resolved. It was just telling us about how many times this man hasn’t been caught. I was hoping it had an ending but unfortunately not.

The case isn’t resolved

The narrator (survivor voice) mumbles the end of every sentence and it is very difficult to understand what is being said. All others are excellent.
A very difficult subject to tackle and also pitch correctly. I appreciate the skill involved.
