Henry Lee Lucas - The Confession Killer

In this episode we dive into the chilling and confounding case of Henry Lee Lucas, a drifter whose name became synonymous with murder in the 1980s. Lucas claimed to have killed hundreds of people across the United States — confessions that earned him the title of “America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer.” But as investigators started digging deeper, cracks began to form in his story. Were his confessions real — or part of an elaborate lie enabled by law enforcement and the media?
