In a series of four violent attacks dubbed the Texarkana Moonlight Murders, a masked man assaulted a young couple on a secluded lovers’ lane in rural Texas near the Arkansas border. Over the next 10 weeks, three other couples in the region were attacked, and five people were murdered. The crime spree, which inspired the 1976 movie “The Town That Dreaded Sundown,” officially remains unsolved.
