Jeffrey Gorton's Deadly Secret XIV: Underwear, Videotapes, and Murder: Jeffrey Gordon's Double Life Exposed
Sunday, 17 August, 2025
A meticulously organized garage with labeled drawers for every type of nail and screw. A quiet family man who never raised his voice. A loyal employee of the family sprinkler business. This was the Jeffrey Gordon that everyone thought they knew – until police discovered what he'd been hiding between his mattress and box spring.When DNA technology finally connected Gordon to the brutal murders of Margaret Eby and Nancy Ludwig, investigators expected to find evidence of his crimes. What they discovered instead was a trophy collection so vast it would take weeks to catalog: approximately 1,200 pieces of women's underwear, many labeled with names, dates, and locations, hidden throughout his home, garage, and even behind his chimney. The man who appeared to be a model husband and father had been living a double life for decades as a voyeur and predator.The search revealed not just physical trophies but homemade videos filmed from hidden cameras in bathrooms, spliced together with movie scenes depicting sexual assault. Gordon had compiled his disturbing obsessions while maintaining his public persona as a quiet chess champion who helped his children with homework and attended church regularly. His own family seemed blind to the red flags – though his brothers privately referred to him as "the panty sniffer," they never reported his concerning behavior.Most troubling were the accounts from neighbors and acquaintances who had encountered Gordon's darker side years earlier. Multiple women reported finding him peeping in windows or discovering him in their homes, but when they informed his family, they were asked not to involve police. Despite previous imprisonment in Florida for similar offenses, Gordon had been protected by a wall of silence that allowed his behavior to escalate to murder.The Jeffrey Gordon case exposes how predators hide in plain sight, and how communities can enable their behavior through denial and silence. Listen as we unravel the investigation that finally brought him to justice and the shocking discoveries that revealed the true extent of his crimes.
