In the early 90s, the bodies of 3 sex workers would be found in South Dallas, all with their eyes cut out with surgical precision. The clock is ticking as the police, aided by the first hand accounts of other sex workers, try to track down a dangerous man who didn't seem that dangerous at all.
This week covers the disappearance, and ultimately triple murder of Madalyn, Robin, and Garth Murray O'Hair. The O'Hair's went missing in 1995, and everyone including those closest to them thought they had fled to start a new life in New Zealand. It would take a dogged reporter and a private investigator years to ultimately to uncover the horrifying and gruesome truth.
This week, Vee covers the story of prolific con man and murderer John Edward Robinson. Robinson began luring, kidnapping and murdering women under the guise of love, job opportunities, and BDSM interactions, ultimately killing them.
