The Elvis Lookalike Who Became a Serial Killer: The Pied Piper of Tucson | Untold True Crime Files

In the 1960s, Charles Schmid walked the streets of Tucson, Arizona, charismatic, confident, and dressed like a rock star. Teens called him cool. But behind the dyed hair, pancake makeup, and stuffed cowboy boots was a twisted young man with a murderous obsession.

In this episode of Untold True Crime Files, we explore the bizarre and disturbing story of The Pied Piper of Tucson, a serial killer who lured teenage girls into the desert and left a town in shock.


Video correction: It was Mary French, NOT Gretchen Fritz, who helped lure Aileen Rowe out of her home the night she was murdered. This is confirmed in court documents (State v. Schmid, 1973). Gretchen found out about Aileen's murder much later.

Sincerest apologies for the mix-up.
