One of the most well-known serial killers, Richard Ramirez terrorized Southern California in the mid-1980s, where anyone could be a target of the sadistic murderer.

Sheila LaBarre: Sheila the Peeler

In rural Epping, New Hampshire, everyone knew Sheila LaBarre as an eccentric widow who loved her rabbits. No one expected what police uncovered when looking for a missing man.

Episode 7

Henry Louis Wallace: Bad Henry

Someone is killing young African American women in Charlotte, North Carolina and the police seem unable to stop it. What the police don't realize is that the cases all have a commonality: a connection with Henry Louis Wallace.

Episode 8

Anthony Sowell: The Cleveland Strangler

African American women in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of Cleveland were vanishing. Their families were desperate for help, but no one seemed to know what was happening to them, no one except Anthony Sowell.

Episode 9

Arthur Shawcross: The Genesee River Killer

Serial killer Arthur Shawcross tells a lot of stories about his life before he began to kill. Abuse, bestiality, cannibalism...but is any of it true?

Episode 10

Ronald Dominique: The Bayou Strangler

Growing up gay was tough on Ronald Dominique. But that's not why Ronald began to kill African American men. Tragically, this was the beginning of years of senseless murder.
