The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas Day 5 Mad Dog Killing Spree

James "Mad Dog Tabowsky       Arthur "Meatball" Colombe



Day 5

In 1950 James Tabowsky was sentenced to die in the electric chair.  Due to the only witness to his crime being declared insane, he escaped Old Sparky and was released from prison. 

For a man that claimed he would lead a life on the straight and narrow, he didn't do so well.

Small business owners in Hartford Connecticut became terrified for a 10 week period in 1956 when


Mad Dog and his new friend Meatball were on a robbery spree leaving people dead in their wake.

The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas Day 4 The Tube Sock Killer

In the mid 1980's, three people were found murdered while a fourth went missing in a remote camping area in Washington state. With no witnesses and the only survivor being a two year old found miles away in a shopping plaza, police were baffled.  Twenty five years later in 2011,  the skull of the missing victim was found but would this answer the authorities lingering questions or only raise more?

  Join Jen and Cam as we discuss the unsolved Tube Sock Killings on episode 4 of the 12 Nightmares Before Christmas.
