Part 3: In various ports of call throughout the East, the NCIS and the FBI investigate the alleged murders of John Eric Armstrong. Meanwhile, concerns about a rising body count are growing in Michigan and North Carolina, even as Elizabeth Walker concludes her prosecution of Armstrong. Underway is a detailed inquiry into complex psychosocial questions: Why do women engage in prostitution? What led John Eric Armstrong to commit murder? Was it merely a matter of bad luck? Did a dysfunctional childhood play a role? Interviews with Armstrong's family reveal shocking revelations, exposing disturbing possibilities regarding the factors that contributed to the making of a serial killer.
