This episode explores the urban legend of the demon trucker on Highway 666 and the true story of Robert Ben Rhoades, the truck stop killer. It discusses the legend's origins and the unsettling reality of serial killer truck drivers.
Highway 666, also known as the Devil's Highway, was a real road associated with various urban legends.
Robert Ben Rhoades, a serial killer truck driver, preyed on victims across US highways.
The episode will compare the demon trucker legend with the true crimes of Robert Ben Rhoades.
According to the urban legends, Highway 666 is a paranormal hotspot in the remote American Southwest. The “Devil’s Highway” is cursed by ghostly hitchhikers, UFOs, and the homicidal “demon trucker” who stalks his prey along the highway.
Highway 666 has since been renamed. And while the demon trucker has never been confirmed, the stories about him pale in comparison to the true case of Robert Ben Rhoades, the “Truck Stop Killer” who abducted victims and tortured them in his sleeper cab as they crossed the U.S.
