This episode follows people who wanted the glory and the fame. The first story follows a young girl, strangled and left with a blue square cut out of her jeans. A woman accuses her boyfriend and their knowledge and her admission gets them imprisoned. But a letter turns up at the courthouse three years later, signed off with a smiley face and teasing the police with details of this murder and others, found with similarities. The writer is traced through a web of old details, but is found. He turns himself in… admitting five other murders!
The second story heads to Wichita where families are gruesomely slain. For 30 years, they are not solved but letters are arriving from “BTK” – Bind, Torture, Kill. The police know he wants fame and set up fake news conferences to trap him, before serving him 10 life sentences for 10 murders.
