For more than three decades, a serial killer haunted St. Louis, striking without warning and leaving behind almost no evidence. Blending seamlessly into everyday life, he evaded capture while investigators struggled to uncover the identity of a murderer hiding in plain sight. As the body count grew and leads went cold, authorities were forced to rethink everything they knew. To finally stop him, investigators had to uncover the killer’s one critical weakness—and expose the true face behind the crimes. In this episode of The FBI Files, go inside one of the most baffling investigations ever faced by law enforcement. Featuring expert analysis, detailed re-enactments, and interviews with the agents who worked the case, former FBI official James Kallstrom reveals the cutting-edge forensic science and investigative techniques that ultimately brought a notorious killer to justice.
