The premise

Documents the chilling 1970s-80s era of rampant serial killers in Los Angeles with first-hand accounts from the detectives who tracked down the Freeway Killer, Hillside Strangler and Sunset Strip Killer, bringing justice for the victims and survivors

Horror Vault's take

When Los Angeles became one of the most dangerous cities on earth during the 1970s and 80s, a wave of predatory killers terrorized its streets and freeways. This documentary series puts viewers in the room with the veteran detectives who hunted monsters like the Freeway Killer, the Hillside Strangler, and the Sunset Strip Killer. First-hand accounts from the investigators who worked these cases give the series a raw, ground-level authenticity rarely found in true-crime television. It is a sobering portrait of an era when evil operated in plain sight — and the relentless pursuit of justice that followed.
