In this weeks episode, Shelby and Charlie cover the most gruesome subject they've ever encountered: Gary Heidnik. Heidnik, who was one of several people used as the inspiration for the character Buffalo Bill, was nothing short of absolutely psychotic. He would abduct women, shackle them in his basement, and subject them to the most horrific forms of torture. This episode is not for the faint of heart.
