Arthur Shawcross was not born a monster—he was made.

 Forged in a house of sin, scarred by incest, violence, and a twisted childhood, then sharpened to a lethal edge in the jungles of Vietnam. But the most terrifying part of his story isn’t just what he became—it’s how the system had him in its grip… and let him go. Again and again.

In this series, Tony Ciaglia, The Serial Killer Whisperer, takes you inside Shawcross’s own private writings—letters and journals he wrote exclusively for Tony—where he confesses to incest, atrocities in Vietnam, and the origins of his hunger to kill. You’ll hear how the state moved him like a venomous animal from town to town, hiding his past, until finally dropping him in Rochester, New York… a decision that left at least thirteen women dead.

For the first time ever, Tony opens the vault on rare video footage—long thought lost—retracing Shawcross’s killing grounds in chilling detail. Step into the shadows where The Genesee River Killer hunted.
