Unsafe Spaces: Tampa's Missing Men

Wherein we blow up the entire investigation...Halfway through writing this episode, something happened. An article, a map, and an IM chat changed the way we've been viewing this entire exploration and all of our research. There was a feeling we couldn't shake. The deeper we looked, the more questions we had. And we realized that this whole thing was bigger; so much bigger than we ever oculd have imagined. And so, we pressed pause and bounced into action. There is so much more to this story. 

We're taking pause this week, as we continue to work on a super-sized episode, and hope the show finds a wider audience. Unsafe Spaces will be back May 15.

Steven Lorenzo's residential history leads Josh to Fort Lauderdale, where three gay men disappeared from the same apartment building sixteen years apart. Updates in one of those cases seem to make Lorenzo a very strong suspect. But where was Scott Schweickert, and is it possible the pair continued killing following the murders of Jason Galehouse and Michael Wachholtz? Plus, two other Florida serial killers targeting gay men complicate the investigation.This episode was written, researched, edited, and produced by Josh Hallmark Resources: Florida State UniversityNAMUSThe Charley ProjectAmerican Addiction CentersPink NewsAmFarThe National Library of MedicineThe Florida Department of CorrectionsNews-Press.comCharlotte County Sheriff's OfficeThis is a Studio BOTH/AND production: bothand.fyi  For an ad-free experience: patreon.com/studiobothand  Music by: Yehezkel Raz, Stanley Gurvich, and Benjamin Esterlis  Featured music by: Choir Boy Patreon Producers: Amy Basil, Dale Akstin, Kendall C, Amelia Hancock, Annette L, Asch Fish, Becky C, Benjamin Cioppa-Fong, Casey Jensen Richardson, Christina Sisson, Corey Deatly, Drew Vipond, Heather Horton Whedon, Jen J, Jillian Natale, Kathleen Studer, Lana Halladay, Lauren F, Lydia Rodarte Quayle, Manolis Bouloukos, Nicole & Dennis Henry, Pink, Robin Wolfe, SC, Shelly Brewer, Sherri D, Trista, Tuesday Woodworth, Zack Ignatowicz Warren, Bethany Heintz, Carrie, Emily Paine, John Comrie, Jordan M, Jordan Taylor, Kate Lussier, Kathy Nation, Megan Inman, Rene LaPlante, Sabrina Abbot, Spooky, Tori Myers

Unsafe Spaces returns on April 24. This season, we continue our investigation into Steven Lorenzo and Scott Schweickert, and the missing and murdered men who may be connected to them. Our investigation takes us across the state of Florida, and into Georgia, Illinois, New York and beyond; and we find it intersects with several other serial killers who were targeting similar victims. Over six episodes, we try to make sense of these men, their crimes, and the 25+ missing and dead men who could be connected to them.Written, edited, and produced by Josh Hallmark. Featuring: Albert Perkins and Dr. Scott (LA Not So Confidential)Music by: Neon Ridge
