Carl "Charlie" Brandt seemed to have a normal upbringing when one night he just snapped. Charlie shot and killed his pregnant mother and unborn sibling, wounded his father, then turned the gun to his sister Angela. Luckily, the gun was empty and Angela Brandt was able to escape to a neighbors and call for help, but this would not be the end of Charlie's killing. This week, Savannah details the horrific slayings by serial killer Charlie Brandt and the dark family secret of his killings that were kept from everyone, even Charlie's younger siblings. Charlie didn't serve prison time for killing his mother, and he went on to kill, disembowel and decapitate at least 4 more women in his adulthood before ultimately ending his own life.
