A lot happened in the 1980's. A ton of serial killers circled the world and the AIDS epidemic came rolling in during the mid 80's. Now when you put the two together, we have Serial/Spree Killer Michael Lupo. A man so driven by revenge once he found out he was HIV positive, he set out to destroy his own people, men of the LGBTQ community.
Our true crime quickie is from the country of Myanmar in January of 2026.
