Serial Killer Slept With His Victims for 2 Weeks

Between 2003 and 2004, William Devin Howell preyed on vulnerable women living on the margins of society, many of whom struggled with addiction or unstable housing. Driving a dark blue van that he used to lure victims, Howell abducted women from areas along Connecticut's Berlin Turnpike before transporting them to isolated locations where he sexually assaulted and murdered them. He later concealed their bodies in shallow graves within a wooded ravine behind a commercial area in New Britain, creating what investigators would later identify as one of the state's largest known serial murder scenes.

Through historical records, expert analysis, and detailed case reconstruction, the documentary follows Howell's background, the disappearance of his victims, and the lengthy investigation that ultimately linked him to multiple murders. It examines the forensic evidence, witness testimony, and confession that led to his conviction, while also exploring Howell's disturbing attempts to justify his crimes through a distorted belief that he was removing people he considered undesirable from society. The film also highlights the determination of investigators and victims' families to identify every victim and secure justice in one of Connecticut's most significant serial murder investigations.
