S18 Ep97: Bad Henry: The Murderous Rampage of the Taco Bell Strangler w/Ron Chepesiuk

True Crime Tuesday presents: Bad Henry: The Murderous Rampage of the Taco Bell Strangler with Author/Investigator Ron Chepesiuk!

Henry Louis Wallace terrorized Charlotte, North Carolina, from May 1992 to March 1994.

Wallace preyed on lower economic-class Black women between 17 and 35 years old. He knew most of his victims, some through his job at Taco Bell, and gained their trust with his friendly demeanor and gentle nature—concealing a monster fueled by drug abuse and rage against women.

A rarity in that he was an African American serial killer, his murderous rampage spurred controversy throughout the city. Community members accused local police of ignoring the murders because of the victims' race. Wallace attended the funerals of many of his victims and offered condolences to families. The ensuing investigation became the largest in North Carolina’s history.

Wallace was eventually found guilty and convicted of nine counts of murder, but he admitted to more killings while incarcerated; he is potentially responsible for anywhere from 20 to 90 deaths of Black women. Wallace continues to appeal and awaits his execution at Central Prison in Raleigh. Ron Chepesiuk joins TCT to talk about the case of henry Louis Wallace, his murders, his downfall, and his incarceration on today's program!
