About this episode

Former FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong digs into the case of Thomas Richard Bunday, The North Pole Killer. In 1979, the small town of North Pole, Alaska was terrified when 5 young women went missing. Their bodies were eventually found within a 10 mile area - all had been strangled and raped. When investigators finally caught up to Bunday, they discovered that not only was the FBI profile completely off base, but they were powerless to arrest him.
