You initially see the eccentric, solitary next-door neighbor as an ordinary individual who voluntarily monitors the neighborhood and gives a helping hand to those in need, giving you a sense of security—a thought that makes you realize there’s still good people in the world. However, you are shocked to learn that the person who you thought was harmless lives right next door is in fact a serial killer whose motivations are rooted in the darkest corners. Motives that drive an individual to pursue the most repulsive forms of evil.
This episode recounts the life of the serial killer commonly known as "The Butcher of Kansas City." An evildoer who preyed on the weak enticed many young, vulnerable men into his house of horrors, where they were unable to escape.

It was first confusing to learn that the 5-year-old was not asleep in her bed when the terrible discovery was made in the early morning hours around 3 a.m. However, once her dad's girlfriend, who was there watching his two kids, noticed the back door was left wide open, it created a terrifying level of terror. Was she kidnapped by someone who broke into the house? Or had she escaped? In a situation like this, time is of the essence. Although minutes can feel like hours, the feeling of not knowing what to do or where to look first in a pitch-black neighborhood in a Florida town would be any parent’s worst nightmare.
