In this episode we dive into the chilling and confounding case of Henry Lee Lucas, a drifter whose name became synonymous with murder in the 1980s. Lucas claimed to have killed hundreds of people across the United States — confessions that earned him the title of “America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer.” But as investigators started digging deeper, cracks began to form in his story. Were his confessions real — or part of an elaborate lie enabled by law enforcement and the media?

In this episode, we dive deep into the chilling and contradictory life of Pedro Rodrigues Filho — a man who claimed to kill only those he believed deserved to die. Nicknamed “Killer Petey,” Pedro is one of Brazil’s most infamous serial killers, with a body count that may exceed 100 victims. But what sets him apart from most serial murderers is that many of his victims were criminals themselves — murderers, rapists, and drug dealers. Was he a twisted vigilante, or just another cold-blooded killer?

In this episode, we dive into the case of Lorenzo Gilyard, a seemingly average man who lived a double life as one of America’s most elusive serial killers. Known as The Kansas City Strangler, Gilyard was linked to the murders of at least 13 women between 1977 and 1993, but authorities believe the number could be even higher. His victims were primarily sex workers and vulnerable women whose cases went cold for decades — until DNA technology finally caught up with him in the early 2000s.
