Episode 1
Gerald and Charlene Gallego: The Love Slave Killers
45 mins
From September 11, 1978, to November 2, 1980, Gerald Armond Gallego and Charlene Adell (Williams) Gallego conducted a crime spree in the American west that spanned two years, covered three states, and took the lives of ten victims. The abduction/murder of two college sweethearts in Sacramento, California, would finally lead to their capture and a "deal with the devil" that would spell out a death sentence, an early release, and the full extent of their crimes.
Episode 2
Tony Costa
43 mins
Tall, handsome, intelligent and quiet, aspiring poet and taxidermist Antone Charles "Tony" Costa - a relative newbie in Provincetown, Massachusetts - quickly caught police notice when young women began to disappear during the hippie counterculture era of 1968-1969. Strange coincidences converging around a remote cemetery in nearby Truro would tie to Tony's strange loner personality - hanging out only with teenagers, marrying a 14-year-old, and raising his own marijuana garden. Though claiming drug use made him insane, his trial determined he knew right from wrong when he killed and took needless time to dismember his victims' "parts."
Episode 3
Richard Cottingham: The Times Square Ripper
Mon, Sep 15, 201444 mins
From 1967-1980, computer programmer Richard Francis Cottingham - a serial sexual murderer who some deemed a sadistic psychopath - brutally slew women from Times Square, New York, and across the way in New Jersey, dismembering some of his victims. Thinking himself smarter than anyone and impervious to capture, he would boast to colleagues of his appetite for prostitutes, S&M clubs and gambling, but none knew how far to believe him or suspected his lethal level of brutality.
Episode 4
Cleophus Prince Jr: The Clairemont Killer
43 mins
For twenty-one months in the early 1990s of San Diego County, California, Cleophus Prince Jr., a dishonorably discharged black Navy man and fitness fanatic, stalked, attacked and murdered white women as they showered in their homes, going against the usual race-on-race characteristic of most serial killers. Thought at first to be a disorganized opportunist killer, this Birmingham, Alabama, native's bold daylight attacks proved to be the result of careful stalking. While his side career as a burglar gave him ample training for breaking into homes, racial hatred did not prove to be involved in any of his psychopathic crimes.
Episode 5
Robert Napper: The Green Chain Rapist
43 mins
In a span of rapes and murders from 15 July 1992 through November 1993, Robert Clive Napper (eventually known as The Green Chain Rapist) targeted mothers accompanied by children. He may not have been born to kill, but living under a wife-beating father and suffering sexual assault at thirteen from a family friend didn't sit well with his Asperger's syndrome diagnosis, his later identification as a paranoid schizophrenic, and his personal humiliation at having erectile dysfunction. His killings, though few, were abnormally savage.
Episode 6
Levi Bellfield: The Bus Stop Stalker
44 mins
From 21 March, 2002, through 19 August, 2004, nightclub bouncer and later business owner Levi Bellfield, eventually known (among other names) as The Bus Stop Killer, performed a spate of brutal blitz attacks almost entirely upon teenage girls. Puny and bullied as a child, a serious course of weightlifting and steroids bulked him up into a powerfully built man fueled by unpredictable roid rages to seemingly lash out at the world and cause pain to all.
Episode 7
John Duffy and David Mulcahy: The Railway Killers
44 mins
In the mid 80s, two British school chums - the short (5'-4") and introverted John Francis Duffy and the taller (5'-11.5") outgoing David Mulcahy - maintained their friendship and continued their shared interest in martial arts and serial rape into adulthood. Psychological Offender Profiling helps bring in one, while DNA testing eventually pulls in the other. Neither's individual interest in rape may have led to murder, but working together was another story, and the railway line became their hunting ground.
Episode 8
Sean Vincent Gillis: The Other Baton Rouge Killer
42 mins
In North Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Sean Vincent Gillis respectively stalked, kidnapped, murdered, raped, and mutilated eight women from March of 1994 to 28 April, 2004 - quick kills to satisfy his necrophiliac urges. His wife, Terri, knew only of his good side and nothing of his dark exploits.
Episode 9
Timothy Spencer: The Southside Strangler
44 mins
In 1984 and 1987-1988; Richmond and Arlington authorities in Virginia, USA, piece together the puzzle of the man who has been torture-killing women in their communities. Once the name of career criminal Timothy Wilson Spencer arises, the pieces of circumstantial evidence fit snugly together. Since this won't hold up in court, a new method must be brought in to bring the slow and sadistic perpetrator to justice - DNA testing.
Episode 10

Sat, Feb 7, 202642 mins
In 1981-83, first cousins David Alan Gore and Fred Waterfield played bad cop/good fellow in their deviant pursuit of women to rape and kill at Florida's Vero and Indian River County beaches. Loner David used his position as an auxiliary sheriff's deputy to secure his prey while Fred, the gregarious of the two, took a much friendlier approach.

David Carpenter: The Trailside Killer
45 mins
Acquiring infamy as The Trailside Killer in and around the San Francisco, California, area from August 19, 1979 through May 2, 1981, David Joseph Carpenter, an unimposing father of three with a severe stutter and a long history of sexual misconduct, stalked hiking trails and took nine lives as he raped and murdered for the sake of his insatiable sex drive and need to dominate. Severe physical abuse as a child by his alcoholic father and domineering mother are thought to play highly contributing factors in shaping his strangely dichotomous adult personality.
Episode 12
Bobby Joe Long
44 mins
Robert Joseph 'Bobby Joe' Long - suffering multiple head injuries as a child, growing breasts during puberty due to an extra X chromosome, and becoming sexually insatiable after a car accident - brutally murdered young women in the Tampa Bay area, Florida, USA, from 27 March to 11 November in 1984, deriving sadistic pleasure from the abductions, rapes and deaths by strangulation, throat slitting, or bludgeoning. The presence of red trilobal nylon carpet fibers tie several victims together, who otherwise exhibited differing M.O.s. The one surviving victim, teenager Lisa McVey (who Bobby Joe released), would not be tied-in till later by those fibers, along with particular tire tracks adjoining the dumped bodied.
