This episode tracks the FBI's seventeen-year global manhunt for Smayo Deserlic, a taxi driver and trained butcher who left a trail of dismembered victims across New York, Belgium, and Albania before being captured in Montenegro. New York City investigators were pushed to their limits when the remains of a well-known local woman were discovered scattered across Brooklyn in industrial trash bags. The lack of a head and hands left veteran detectives with a grim puzzle that seemed impossible to solve until a missing person report for Mary Beal provided a name for the victim. Suspicion immediately fell on a local taxi driver with a history of brutal outbursts and a massive financial debt to the deceased. Just as the net began to close, the suspect vanished without a trace, leaving a cold case that would haunt the department for nearly two decades.
