Have you ever wondered how a seemingly ordinary child with a curiosity for the world and impeccable manners could later become a dark and brooding killer? Let's unravel the enigmatic story of Charles Albright, a once-typical kid who developed an intense interest in peculiar things and excelled in the fine arts. His fascination even led him to explore the art of taxidermy, a practice where he would skillfully replace the eyeballs of deceased birds with marbles purchased from a local store owner.

However, somewhere along the path of his life, things took a sinister turn. In the year 1990, Charles embarked on a reign of terror in the Dallas, TX area. His chosen targets were sex workers, but due to his well-mannered demeanor, he proved elusive for law enforcement. Nobody could identify the gentle-spoken man who had earned the chilling nickname of the "Eyeball Killer." Cunningly, he left his victims without conspicuous marks, understanding they would be discovered swiftly. Only during the victims' autopsies did authorities uncover the chilling modus operandi of this killer.
