About this episode

“Why did you lie to me?” -- January 15th, 1974, 15-year-old Charlie Otero is dropped off at school by his dad just as every other day, but only a few hours later, he would come home to unimaginable horror: his family was the first target of the BTK killer. With no evidence on who did this, nightmares follow Charlie as he fears for his own safety, while the BTK attacks more and more people. It would take 30 years to finally catch him, after taunting the police repeatedly, where Charlie would finally be able to confront his family’s killer face to face and get his revenge.
