In the 1980s, a cunning and elusive killer slipped through the cracks of the justice system multiple times. Known to police for petty crimes— drug possession and assault—he was arrested on several occasions but never held long enough to uncover his darker deeds. Each time, authorities saw only a repeat offender, not realizing they had a serial murderer in their custody. It wasn’t until years later that the horrifying truth surfaced: they'd had the killer in their grasp more than once—and let him walk free.
