Who Was the Skid Row Stabber?

In 1978, someone started targeting the most vulnerable people in Los Angeles—men living on the streets of Skid Row. Over the course of a year, eleven of them were stabbed to death. The press called the killer the “Skid Row Stabber,” but despite witness accounts, a creepy bathroom confession, and a guy named Luther who may or may not have existed, the murders stayed unsolved.

Then police arrested Bobby Joe Maxwell—a guy with a rough past, a questionable knife, and a diary full of Satanic ramblings. It was enough to land him in prison for life. But here’s the thing: the evidence against Bobby never really added up. No real forensics. Witnesses who later recanted. A jailhouse snitch who turned out to be full of it.

This episode walks through how the case fell apart, who got away with what, and what happens when the system just needs someone to take the fall. It’s about broken trust, vulnerable lives, and a killer who may still be a ghost in the city’s memory.

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.680
In the late seventies, someone was stabbing homeless men to

2
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:07.040
death in downtown LA and doing it with the kind

3
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:11.279
of confidence usually reserved for people who know no one's watching.

4
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:15.679
The press called him the skid Row Stabber. Police called

5
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.199
in a guy named Bobby Joe Maxwell, who had the

6
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.920
wrong vibes, a weird diary, and the bad luck of

7
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.160
knowing someone who'd snitch for a sandwich. Today's story isn't

8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.600
just about a killer. It's about what happens when you

9
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.520
need a name more than you need the truth before

10
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.039

for at least two new episodes every week. This is

13
00:00:42.000 --> 00:01:16.239
ten minute murder. Let's get into it. Nineteen seventy eight,

14
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.799
downtown Los Angeles. The city's heartbeat was loud, but in

15
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.040
the background, barely audible to the people not paying attention.

16
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.879
Something much darker had started to stir in the alleys,

17
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.640
beneath overpasses, and in forgotten corners of skid Row. Someone

18
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.480
was preying on the people who had already been failed

19
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.959
in every possible way. Most of them didn't have homes.

20
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.000
If they were lucky. They had a blanket or a tarp,

21
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.480
maybe a shopping cart of things they called theirs. Many

22
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.719
battled addiction, many lived with untreated mental illness, and some

23
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.439
were just people who'd been chewed up and spit out

24
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.519
by life. Skid Row wasn't where you started. It was

25
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.239
where you lived when every other door slammed shut, and

26
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:08.000
then people started dying. In October of seventy eight, police

27
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.599
found fifty year old Jesse Martinez stabbed to death. No witnesses,

28
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:17.639
no known enemies, no reason, just dead. About a week later,

29
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.680
thirty two year old Jose Cortes turned up dead, same

30
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.520
brutal ending, and not long after that it was forty

31
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.000
six year old Bruce Drake. Something was happening, and the

32
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:34.560
people it was happening too. Society barely noticed. Weeks passed

33
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.000
and the bodies kept showing up. Most were left where

34
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.120
no one would notice them until morning, alleyways, behind dumpsters,

35
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.919
tucked into forgotten folds of the city. But then came

36
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.479
Frank Garcia. Frank wasn't left in the shadows. He was

37
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.360
murdered in broad daylight near City Hall, right in the

38
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.280
middle of downtown. People were everywhere, hundreds of them. Yet

39
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.360
somehow the miller managed to vanish into the crowd like smoke.

40
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.479
The only thing left behind was a handprint, no name,

41
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.680
no weapon, just proof that whatever this was didn't care

42
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.439
about being seen. By the time the killings stopped in

43
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:18.560
nineteen seventy nine, at least eleven people were dead. That's

44
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.879
just the official count. There could have been more. Skid

45
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.800
Row isn't exactly known for accurate record keeping when it

46
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.680
comes to the homeless and the invisible. The press finally

47
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.560
gave the killer a name, the skid Row Stabber, but

48
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.039
figuring out who he was that was harder. A few

49
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.080
people claimed they saw him, but their accounts didn't carry

50
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.360
much weight, not because they didn't care, but because they

51
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.879
lived on the streets, and when you're homeless, even your

52
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.560
eyewitness status comes with an asterisk. After the murder of

53
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.479
a man named David Jones, three of his friends stepped forward.

54
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.080
They said the man who killed him didn't just walk

55
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.719
up and attack. He talked to them first, chatted for

56
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.919
several minutes, said his name was Luther, described him as

57
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.800
a thirty year old black man with a Puerto Rican accent.

58
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.000
This guy hung around like he was just another face.

59
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.560
In the crowd until he pulled a knife and turned

60
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.480
a conversation into a murder. Three months after David Jones

61
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.480
was murdered, a note turned up in a public toilet

62
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.439
at the Los Angeles bus terminal, scrawled like a manifesto

63
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.839
from someone who wanted credit for their crimes but didn't

64
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:34.120
want to actually face anyone. It read, my name is Luther.

65
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.480
I kill whinos. I put them out of their misery.

66
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.639
So now we had a name from witnesses and a

67
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.639
weird toilet confession signed the same way. That was enough

68
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.319
for police to start drawing a connection. But when they

69
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.079
made their move, they didn't grab a guy named Luther.

70
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.800
They zeroed in on someone else entirely enter Bobby Joe Maxwell.

71
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.399
Bobby was twenty nine, worked janitorial jobs when he could

72
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.360
keep them, and had just relocated from Tennessee after a

73
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.399
stint in prison. He'd moved in with his sisters in

74
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.079
la and yes, he was known to hang out around

75
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.800
skid Row, not to help people, just to lurk. His

76
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:18.199
reputation wasn't great and it wasn't improving. In December of

77
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.279
seventy eight, not long after the first few skid rowe killings,

78
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.240
Bobby was arrested. Cops said they found him standing over

79
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.160
a man who was sleeping on the sidewalk holding a knife.

80
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.480
Not a great look. They charged him with deviant behavior,

81
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.720
which is doing a lot of vague heavy lifting. And

82
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.399
he spent a few weeks behind bars. And here's where

83
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:43.279
it got messy. While Bobby was locked up, the killings stopped.

84
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.519
When he got out, the final known murder happened. Add

85
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.800
to that, the handprint left at the Frank Garcia crime scene.

86
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.480
It matched Bobby so lapd had a pattern, a print,

87
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.160
and a guy with a sketchy background. That was enough.

88
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.920
Bobby so Maxwell was arrested again, this time for murder.

89
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.959
When the police searched Bobby's place, they found a knife

90
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.600
same size and same length as the one used in

91
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.079
the murders. Not the knife, just a knife that looked similar.

92
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.680
But that wasn't even the headline for detectives. What really

93
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.879
got them buzzing was his diary. Inside they found pages

94
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:28.519
of ramblings that leaned heavily into satanic imagery, dark disturbing

95
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.079
stuff enough to make a prosecutor start connecting dots that

96
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:37.000
weren't necessarily close together to the lapd This diary looked

97
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.680
like a motive on a silver platter. He wasn't just violent,

98
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.279
They said he was doing it for the devil. But

99
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.120
the thing was that was basically it. A knife that

100
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.959
resembled the murder weapon and a diary that creeped people out.

101
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.319
Nothing that actually placed him at the scene of the crimes.

102
00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:00.399
No eyewitnesses who weren't already deemed unreliable, no murder w repon,

103
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:06.560
just a vibe. Then came the twist, Sidney's storch. Sidney

104
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.079
had been Bobby's cellmate for three weeks. According to Sidney,

105
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.160
Bobby spilled everything. He said he'd killed multiple homeless men

106
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.759
as a sacrifice to Satan, just told him flat out

107
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.360
like they were sharing ghost stories before lights out. Bobby

108
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.600
denied ever saying that or anything remotely like it. But

109
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.199
Sidney's testimony, plus those original witnesses who claimed to recognize

110
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.800
Bobby from the night David Jones was murdered that combo

111
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.800
was all prosecutors needed, and just like that, Bobby Joe

112
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:42.439
Maxwell's fates was basically sealed. In the end, Bobby Joe

113
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.439
Maxwell's trial was a mixed bag of verdicts. He was

114
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.759
acquitted of three murders, five more ended and mistrials, but

115
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:54.480
two stuck first degree murdered, with special circumstances that bumped

116
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.000
him into death penalty territory. His life was now in

117
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.000
the hands of a jury that had to pick between

118
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:06.199
the gas chamber or life without parole. They chose life.

119
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.240
The jury wasn't convinced enough to kill him, especially with

120
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.560
the growing number of exonerations and death row cases, but

121
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.560
the sentence matched the vibe of the entire case. A

122
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:19.959
lot of uncertainty and even more what ifs. Some folks

123
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.720
believed Bobby was really the skid Row stabber. Others looked

124
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:28.079
at the evidence or black thereof, and started asking questions.

125
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.800
Because here's the truth. There was no hard evidence tying

126
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:37.240
Bobby's directly to the actual murders, no DNA, no fingerprints

127
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.960
at multiple scenes, just that one partial handprint from City Hall,

128
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.120
and Bobby was known to hang around there. As for

129
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.240
the knife they found at his place, it was the

130
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.519
right size, sure, but that's like saying someone with big

131
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:54.279
shoes must be bigfoot. The case rested entirely on witness testimony,

132
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.240
and that started falling apart fast. The three men who'd

133
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.919
originally id'd Bobby as the guy who killed David Jones,

134
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.600
began backing away. One never got the chance. He was

135
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.039
killed during the trial. The other two eventually admitted in

136
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.679
twenty ten, more than three decades after Bobby's conviction, that

137
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.039
they'd been pressured by investigators to lie, coerced into pointing

138
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.720
the finger. And then there was Sidney's storch. Sidney wasn't

139
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.480
just a jail house snitch. He was a professional jail

140
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.039
house snitch. He had a reputation for reading about high

141
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:33.000
profile cases in the papers, then claiming his cellmate confessed

142
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.639
and surprise, he just happened to know all the details.

143
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.960
He'd offer that confession in exchange for a reduced sentence,

144
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.480
which is exactly what he did in Bobby's case. Bobby

145
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.679
swore he never told Sidney anything, but that didn't matter.

146
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.840
Sidney used the headlines as a script, fed it to

147
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.679
the cops, and walked out of prison early because of it.

148
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.159
The jury never heard that part. It took years for

149
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.960
Sidney's full scam to come out. He helped wrongfully convict

150
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.039
at least six people before dying in prison himself. By

151
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.519
the time anyone could do something about it, the damage

152
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.919
was already done. Eventually, with everything crumbling, an appellate court

153
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.919
overturned Bobby's conviction and granted him a new trial. But

154
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.879
life had one more punch to throw Before that second

155
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.600
chance could happen. Bobby had a massive heart attack. He

156
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.080
fell into a coma and never woke up. His legal

157
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.399
team kept fighting, kept hoping he'd come back around long

158
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:34.320
enough to hear the good news. The charges were finally dropped.

159
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.679
Bobby Joe Maxwell was legally a free man after spending

160
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.519
more than thirty years behind bars. But he died without

161
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.480
ever knowing he'd been exonerated. And we're still left with

162
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.440
the same question that haunted skid Row back in nineteen

163
00:10:48.519 --> 00:11:04.559
seventy eight? Who was the real skid Row stabber? Thanks

164
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:09.440
for listening to ten minute murder Brief and bingeable True Crime.

165
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.120
I'm Joe the host, and yeah, that one sat a

166
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.399
little heavy. It's not hard to think about how many

167
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.919
lives were upended, how many people got written off by

168
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.080
a system that was more interested in closing a case

169
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.840
than getting it right. And Bobby he might have been

170
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.919
the guy. He also might have just been the guy

171
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.080
standing too close when the system needed somebody to blame

172
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.840
either way, no one ever got real justice, not the victims,

173
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:36.759
not the families, and definitely not Bobby, who died in

174
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:41.559
a coma while technically free. All right, before the spirals

175
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.720
into a Ted talk on wrongful convictions and broken systems,

176
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.440
let me remind you, if you liked this episode, make

179
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.440
into your pillow. You can find me on social media

180
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.360

181
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.559
Murder dot com for more episodes merch place to drop

182
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:02.879
me a line if you've got a story you want

183
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:07.159
to hear. And speaking of that, I did an episode

184
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.879
that wasn't like a planned episode this past weekend. It

185
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.799
was called the Making of Ted Bundy Secrets, Shame and Silence.

186
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.039
I've done episodes in the past on Ted Bundy, and

187
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.399
the most interesting part of every serial killer case to

188
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.039
me is what happened to make them who they became,

189
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.759
their whole backstories, their origin story, and the psychological slash

190
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.960
mental health aspect of it. That's the most interesting part

191
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.960
in all of these stories to me. So I wrote

192
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.759
a blog based on the research I'd done for previous

193
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.639
Ted Bundy cases about just the beginning, just the early

194
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.279
part of his life. And that's at ten minute murder

195
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.879
dot com. And there are blogs that I'll write that

196
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.120
never turn into episodes, So if you want to check

197
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:52.919
some of that out, you can go do that. And

198
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.360
this one I just happened to have some free time

199
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.399
and turned it into an episode that I released this

200
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.919
last weekend. And here's an email about Hi, Joe. I

201
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:04.879
found this episode fascinating. I'm intrigued by human psychology and

202
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:08.399
what shapes people. I always ask why would a person

203
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.799
behave that way? I constantly research the backgrounds of people,

204
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.919
from entertainers to politicians to murderers. My family says I'm

205
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.279
the most curious person in the world. Therefore, this episode

206
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.279
fed my curiosity. Could you make this a semi regular

207
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.759
part of your podcast. I don't want to overload you

208
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.279
with work, but having an episode titled the making of

209
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.399
once a month or once a quarter would be awesome.

210
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.360
As a side notes, I realize it is impossible to

211
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.919
understand human motives completely when it comes to evil. I

212
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.919
believe that sometimes a small tear in a person's soul opens,

213
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.000
allowing evil intentions to enter, and it just grows bigger

214
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.240
and wider until the person is completely enveloped by evil.

215
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:53.440
What once satisfied now requires increasingly evil actions to satisfy.

216
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:57.879
Evil becomes addiction. Those are my dark thoughts this sunny

217
00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.639
Saturday morning. Now I'm off to in a bright day

218
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:05.279
and leave the darkness behind. Have a great weekend, Kelly, Omaha, Nebraska.

219
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.879
First of all, thank you so much for the email. Kelly,

220
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.919
and you and I are very much in a line

221
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.279
on what is the interesting part of these stories? As

222
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.000
I have mentioned before reading your email, I can't tell

223
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.799
you how many times during the day something will pop

224
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.480
into my head and I'll just go research it. Like

225
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.000
in the moment, i could be standing in line trying

226
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:27.480
to pay for my groceries or something, and then something

227
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:29.279
will pop in my head. I'm like, I've got to

228
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.279
know the answer to that right now, and I'll find

229
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.879
myself down rabbit holes of researching this and that, and

230
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.039
I have a feeling Kelly, you're kind of that same way.

231
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.360
But to answer your question, I would love to do

232
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.240
the making of once a month or once a quarter

233
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:45.399
or something like that. And I think I'm going to

234
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.879
attempt that. There is a blog that I've written about

235
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.679
Dennis Rader and before he became bt K, so that

236
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:55.519
may be the next one I turn into an episode.

237
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.519
Thank you for the email and thank you for listening,

238
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.440
and that's going to do it. That is ten minute

239
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.440
murder for Today, brief and bingeable true crime. We'll see

240
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:05.919
you next time.
