Filmmaker John MacGibbon receives a call saying his mother-in- law, Dr. Vibeke
Rasmussen, has not shown up for work. Hours later police call to share an
unimaginable truth– seventy-six-year-old Rasmussen has been stabbed more than 35
times in the face, neck, hands and shoulders while in bed in her apartment.

While police search for the killer, John MacGibbon pores over court documents and
interviews murder suspect Tyler Hagmaier’s friends and family members about his
violent past.

With the killer still missing, John MacGibbon is contacted by an old lover of Hagmaier
who pushes the investigation in a new direction.

MacGibbon uncovers new evidence long hidden by the police. The final answer to the
mystery is darker and more disturbing than he could have imagined, and reveals a
terrible truth about the limits of a mother’s love and the depths of human despair.

1980s Los Angeles brought a string of serial murders that should’ve been splashed across the front pages of every newspaper and been at the top of mind for every LAPD officer, but weren’t – many suspect the race and occupation of these women were the reason the LAPD turned a blind eye, and was also exactly the reason their killer targeted them. When one of the Southside Slayer’s victims survives, the killings stop and the case goes cold for several decades until he begins to strike again. An expose revealing decades of racism and discrimination within the LAPD finally puts enough pressure on the case, and with the help of familial DNA an arrest is finally made – along with a shocking discover that the actual body count for this monster may be much larger. The real question is: at the core of this story, what truly allowed the Grim Sleeper to get away with it for so long, and how many secrets did he take to his grave?

In the worst case of police corruption in NYPD history, two decorated cops, Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, betrayed their badges and moonlighted as hitmen for the Mafia. Eppolito was born into the mob life, with a father and uncle who were heavy hitters in the Gambino crime family. But instead of following his relatives into the Mafia, Eppolito decided to take a job on the police force. It was there that he met Stephen Caracappa and the two became partners. The combination would prove deadly when the two were recruited by Lucchese family underboss Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso to provide confidential information and carry out hits.

In the 1980’s, Tommy `Karate’ Pitera grew to be one of most violent made men of all time for the ruthless, drug-peddling Bonanno crime family. A meek and retiring child from Gravesend, Brooklyn, Pitera was often picked on and ridiculed. He turned to the Japanese martial arts, and `Tommy Karate’ was born. With new-found strength, Tommy joined the Bonnano family as first, an enforcer, and then, a hitman. The former Gravesend pushover took to his job with a meticulous relish, studying the art of killing and body disposal. Before long, he became a made man with his own crew of drug runners, raking in cash by the thousands.

During the 1970s, Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso rose through the ranks of the New York Mafia to become underboss of the Lucchese family, raking in millions of dollars through elaborate scams and killing anyone who got in his way.
