Cousins on Crime

It was late Spring in London, England and celebrations were underway for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. The year was 1953, and it was to be the first ever, televised coronation in the history. But the mood shifted when news broke that two teenage girls were found brutally murdered, floating in the river.

It was the evening of June 4, 2024, when authorities responded to a 911 call in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The caller had informed dispatch of one deceased male, but as police made their way through the home, they shockingly located two more victims. The manhunt for the killer would lead police to a suicide note, a second cell phone, and, ultimately, to the monster intent on murder.

After a long day of work, Eric Hill arrived home to find a family friend waiting outside his door, hoping to check on Eric's grandmother, 81-year-old Selma Hill. The welfare check seemed routine enough...that is until they entered the home and realized they'd stepped into a made-for-TV murder plot.

In the winter of 1971, Westfield, New Jersey found itself right in the middle of a world-wide manhunt. The fugitive, who murdered his entire family, left a note justifying the killings as mercy on their souls for the financial ruin that would soon befall them. It would take an international TV show and one very keen neighbor to capture the man that had evaded police for nearly two decades.

In the late 1960's, "The Children of God" indoctrinated members into a religious movement; teaching that their perverse sexual exploits were God's will. Founder David Berg's son, Ricky, was meant to become the heir to his father's radicalized empire, but instead, Ricky sought justice for himself and the others that had suffered abuse while in the cult.
