Jerry Marcus was a hard working man, who seemed kind-hearted. His aunt raved about how he took care of her when she became ill. But under that kindness was a rage that could only be dimmed once he took a life, and then another, and another. His undoing was forgetting to take care of his home life causing a loved one to get police involved. Soon after discovering one body, Jerry began confessing to more until his activity spanned over a decade.
