Forensically researching the lives of serial killers, this series features chilling real life video and audio footage of people who murdered over-and-over again. Serial killers blend in. They appear normal. But lurking deep within their psyche are the triggers that kick-start their psychopathic behaviour.
Sinister childhood experiences, adult knock-backs, detectable mental frailty, narcissism and an absence of empathy combine to build up a body of evidence which rings alarm bells for psychologists. With dramatic reconstructions alongside real life footage and FBI interviews, criminologists, journalists and detectives profile killers including Angus Sinclair, Anthony Sowell, Joanna Dennehy, and Anders Behring Breivik, and hear about accused serial killer Lonnie David Franklin nicknamed the Grim Sleeper whose spree of killings date back 30 years.
Experts come together with the aid of CCTV footage to reveal exactly what the telltale signs are and analyse the chilling behaviour of the killers.
