In Season 2 episode 13 Beth and Wendy Discuss Henry Louis Wallace, AKA the Taco Bell Strangler. We got into the weeds on this one so it will be a 2 parter. In Part 1 we discuss this American serial killer who killed 11 women in North and South Carolina. Many serial killers target strangers, victims to whom they have no link or relation whatsoever. Henry Louis Wallace was not that kind of serial killer. Wallace preyed on people that he knew: his co-workers and acquaintances.
We get into the time, early 90s and the place Charlotte North Carolina. We talk about the emergence of crack cocaine and its effects on poor black communities. Beth and Wendy talk about how Wallace’s mother was a strict disciplinarian. She would punish Wallace with a switch and during Culture Corner with Beth and Wendy we explain what that means. We get into Wallace’s early life and crimes which began as burglaries, which then escalated to rape and ultimately murder. Wallace a clean cut young man who was very charming.
In this episode we detail the lives and Wallace’s crimes that lead to the deaths of:
Tashonda Bathea
Sharon Nance
Caroline Love
Shawna Hawk

Bad Henry
https://www.newsobserver.com/entertainment/article215224890.html
““Bad Henry” uses interviews with Charlotte detectives who worked the case — most prominently Garry McFadden of the ID show “I Am Homicide” — along with local journalists and friends and family members of victims. McFadden gets the most screen time, but the segments with Dee Sumpter, mother of murder victim Shawna Hawk, are the most powerful. Hawk, a young mother who worked for Wallace at Taco Bell, was Wallace’s third Charlotte victim.”
