CW: This case deals with sexual assault, murder, spousal abuse, suicidal ideation, and dismemberment of a human body, so please take care when listening.

Wayne Adam Ford turned himself into police at the urging of his brother in November of 1998 - by this time he had already killed at least four women and assaulted many others. His tears and apparent guilt about his crimes earned him the press moniker "the serial killer with a conscience" - we don't think he's that at all.

These are the crimes of Wayne Adam Ford.
