The I-70 Strangler
On the surface, Herb Baumeister looked to have a 'normal' life. He was married with three children and the founder of a successful thrift store chain...But behind the scenes there was a very troubled individual. He had been committed to a psychiatric hospital by his father in his youth and his wife could count on one hand the number of times they had sex over the course of their twenty-five year marriage. Baumeister was a closeted homosexual...and a violent one...maybe one that committed over twenty-one murders over the course of his rampage.
The Piketon Murders
Dana Rhoden's sister, Bobby Jo Manley, had been asked by Chris Sr. to feed his pets that morning because he and Gary wouldn't be around. With Hannah May having given birth to daughter Kylie just five days earlier, Chris Sr. knew that Dana would have her hands full taking of their daughter and granddaughter. Bobby Jo gladly agreed, and drove over to Chris Sr.'s house sometime past 7 a.m. on April 22, 2016. When she walked into the house, she was met by a gruesome sight. The house was bloody, and the bodies of the two men were covered in a great deal of blood. Bobby Jo immediately called the police, and her call was received at 7:51 a.m. by the dispatcher. A hysterical Bobby Jo tried describing the scene, and told the 911 operator that the two men looked like they had been badly beaten. Bobby Jo provided the house address, and the operator asked her to walk outside the house and stay there. She was also asked to make sure that no one else went into the house. The shaken Bobby Jo left the house and closed the door behind her. What she saw next was a grisly scene that would shake an entire county to its core.

The Snowtown Murders
In August 1994, two farmers working in a field stumbled upon the skeletal remains of Clinton Trezise. Unfortunately, there was no evidence present on the remains or the grave that could help police identify the victim. There was evidence of dyed hair and previously broken bones, which gave forensic experts hope that they would be able to identify the victim, but nobody came forth to claim the victim, not even after a $100,000 reward was offered. Trezise's family finally filed a missing person report in October 1995, but authorities still couldn't make the connection. Photos of Trezise were sent to forensic experts to compare against the skull, and they concluded that they were not a match - twice. Trezise was an openly gay man. Soon there would be numerous bodies of gay men found dead or missing in the area. A man or group of men were targeting them.Thus began the story of the Snowtown Murders...

The Skid Row Stabber
Since the 1930s, Skid Row had been occupied by the working poor, and as unemployment rates rose, the streets of Skid Row were home to alcoholics, and petty criminals. In the 70s, Skid Row was occupied by a large number of Vietnam veterans as well as heavy drug users. Coupled with the failing infrastructures in the area, poverty, and homelessness, Skid Row was considered one of the most dangerous places in Los Angeles. Recounting the state of the neighborhood, Mellecker stated, "Anything south of First and Second streets you wouldn't go down there without a gun." It was in these streets that the serial killer later dubbed the Skid Row Stabber claimed his victims, with the first victim discovered on October 23, 1978.Who was the Skid Row Stabber?
