The premise

Beneath the sunlit glamour of 1985 L.A. lurks a relentlessly evil serial killer. In this true-crime story, two detectives won't rest until they catch him.

Horror Vault's take

In the sun-drenched summer of 1985, Los Angeles is gripped by fear as a sadistic killer strikes without pattern or mercy. This four-part documentary series reconstructs the harrowing investigation through the eyes of the detectives who devoted themselves to stopping him. Drawing on firsthand accounts from investigators, survivors, and journalists, it paints an intimate portrait of both the hunt and the horror it left in its wake. Few true-crime series capture the grinding, obsessive pressure of a manhunt with this level of procedural authenticity.
