Peter John Peters has gone by many names. In the late eighties London, Ontario, locals knew him as the Tattoo Man. After his sadistic 1990 crime spree he should have become something more permanent. A dead man.
But this is Canada. So now, in his mid-sixties, he’s already back out there… under his new name. John Ross Cody.

London, Ontario, Canada had the highest concentration of serial murder back in the seventies… though I doubt many people know that.
This episode’s subject, from that time and place, certainly wouldn’t ring a bell. He would, however, climb up to your balcony and walk in through an open door.

LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED
On Monday, March 22, 1999, a naked, bloodied woman wearing a padlocked collar with a six-foot chain attached came running out of a trailer park in Elephant Butte, New Mexico, screaming bloody murder. It was David Parker Ray’s first (and last) mistake as the now infamous Toy-Box Killer.
