Robert Joe Long: The Classified Ad Killer – Rape, Murder, and a Notebook Full of Names

In this harrowing episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale delves into the horrifying crimes of Robert Joe Long, the so-called Classified Ad Rapist and Tampa Bay Serial Killer. Responsible for over 50 rapes and at least 10 murders during the 1980s, Long used newspaper ads to find his victims — luring women under the guise of buying items and then turning their trust into terror. With a chilling obsession for control, Long abducted, tortured, and murdered women across Florida, meticulously recording each crime in handwritten ledgers and maps. But his reign of terror came to an end thanks to the courage of 17-year-old Lisa McVey, who survived his attack, memorized his movements, and led police straight to his door. This episode explores the depravity of a man who cataloged death — and the survivor who refused to become another statistic.
