In the shocking conclusion of our three-part true crime series, we uncover the final days of Charles William Yukl, a manipulative killer whose parole failure led to a second brutal murder in 1970s New York City.
After convincing the system he was rehabilitated, Yukl lured an aspiring actress to his apartment under the pretense of casting her in a fake film.
What followed was a horrific repeat of his first crime, strangulation, assault, and deception, all while hiding in plain sight.
With disturbing psychological insights and haunting survivor accounts, this episode dives deep into the failures of parole boards, psychiatric oversight, and the criminal justice system.
It’s a devastating reminder of what happens when dangerous people are given a second chance, and how the system too often listens to the wrong voices.
