In 1997, southwest Houston was terrorized by a one-man crime spree that left four people dead, multiple victims assaulted, and entire apartment communities living in fear. This is the horrifying true story of Franklin DeWayne Alix — a former church choir boy and Sunday school teacher who transformed into one of Houston’s most violent serial offenders. Between August 1997 and January 1998, Alix carried out a brutal wave of robberies, kidnappings, rapes, and executions across Houston apartment complexes, targeting ordinary people returning home from work, sitting in their cars, or walking through parking lots. This documentary follows the complete timeline: * The strict religious upbringing that shaped his early life * His first arrests as a teenager in Harris County * The violent escalation from car thefts to murder * The terrifying abduction and assault of Karyl Bridgeford * The execution-style killing of Eric Bridgeford outside his family home * The murder of Christopher Thomas in his own driveway * The investigation, confession, and death sentence * The controversial crime lab appeals before his execution in Texas On March 30th, 2010, inside the Huntsville Unit in Texas, Franklin DeWayne Alix was executed by lethal injection at the age of 34. But even in his final moments, the biggest question remained unanswered: how does a church-going child become a man capable of this level of violence? This is a detailed true crime documentary about one of Houston’s most disturbing crime sprees.
