On a frost-stung December night in 1995, just two days before Christmas, 30-year-old Tommy Coulet left his quiet home in Ridgewood, California, and would never return.

They found Tommy the next morning, brutally murdered in a valley on the outskirts of town.

The never-ending true crime story

This story begins on December 23, 1995, when Ridgewood resident Tommy Coulet drives to the Hunter Hill Rest Stop in the hopes of finding connection.

What he finds instead is a man intent on destruction -- of him, of the town of Ridgewood, of our entire sense of safety.

This is the untold story of quite possibly the most prolific serial killer in American history.
