What happens when the person you trust most with your life becomes your executioner? In this chilling episode, we unravel the disturbing case of Dr. Harold Shipman, the most prolific serial killer in modern history, whose medical license became his perfect disguise for murder.

Harold Shipman wasn't lurking in shadows or breaking into homes at night. He was a respected family doctor in the small English town of Hyde, invited into living rooms, offered cups of tea, and trusted implicitly by a community that never imagined their GP was systematically killing his patients. With at least 215 confirmed victims—though the true number may be closer to 250—Shipman's reign of terror lasted over two decades before anyone connected the dots.
