Description
For a brief time in 1994, a man calling himself the AIDS Bandit went on a robbery spree of sorts in Knoxville and Alcoa, leading to one of the more bizarre stories in the nearly 70 years of news at WBIR. Though David Lynn Floyd's claims of infection were false, the threats he made were very real. The unsettling nature of his crimes remains a chilling reminder of how fear itself can be used as a weapon.
