Not all hero's wear capes - Reginald Vernon Oates

On this episode of Wife of Crime, I'm telling Russ about a Baltimore serial killer I'm sure no one has heard of! I know this story because I know the arresting officer on the case. Ray was my grandmother's boyfriend he was a police officer for 47 years. He had some crazy stories but he told me that arresting Reginald Oates was by far the craziest one. Even after 56 years he ever forgot that day. Ray suddenly passed away 2 weeks ago, I am still so sad about this but I wanted to dedicate this episode to him and I hope he is smiling up there when he hears it. Moral of this story... Not all hero's wear capes... sometimes they wear a badge. RIP Ray ❤️ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
