Philadelphia is a town steeped in American history. Right at its heart lies Center City – a stylish urban oasis of parks and stately brownstones. But beginning in 1997 -- Center City became a hunting ground. A predator stalked these streets - raping six women… and killing Shannon Schieber, a bright student in the prime of her young life.
Troy Graves was a tall, soft-spoken young man described as shy but charming at the same time. Little did anyone around him know that he was a serial rapist. Despite an apparent desire to turn over a new leaf after moving away from Center City and marrying, he was unable to curb his inner demons, continuing to stalk and attack young women. By day, Troy Graves was the perfect gentleman. By night, he indulged a terrifying dark side. But police closed-in on Graves when he started becoming careless. He eventually faced twenty-seven charges varying from sexual assault to aggravated robbery plus multiple charges of rape… and Shannon’s murder.
Once he was caught, Graves never denied his crimes. He is currently serving two life sentences without parole, plus another sixty to one-hundred-and-twenty years. The man who terrorized two cities would never see those streets again.
