One of North America's most haunting and horrific crime sprees was a series of rapes, abductions, and murders of young women just north of the U.S.–Canada border from 1987 to 1992. Ontario authorities joined FBI profilers to hunt the monster responsible, but they came up empty handed for more than five years until one tip led cops to an unlikely suspect: a middle-class accountant living with his beautiful wife in a quaint pink house in the suburbs. They were sure they had their man, but the saga was far from over. Disturbing videotapes were discovered, and the public learned the sordid details of the crimes and who else was involved, sending shockwaves throughout the world.

When college-aged women in Charlottesville, Virginia started disappearing, the community was shaken to the core. The search for answers led authorities to an unlikely suspect, a local star athlete, Jesse Matthew Jr. In a story filled with twists and turns, the viewer goes behind the investigation of how at least two young women were violently killed and how a third cheated death and became the key to bringing a murderer to justice. For the first time, you'll hear explosive and heart wrenching details from victims' families and friends.
