• Plot: Serial Killers: Portraits of Evil will strip the covers from a world of profiling, forensic science and painful investigation as we expose history's most brutal serial killers.; ; There is darkness in humanity that has manifested itself in a lust for blood throughout the ages. The old testament and ancient myths catalog murder and revenge as part of the fabric of life in ancient times. Cain slew Abel... Romulus slew Remus. Unleashing the beast within as a possibility for all of us. The decision to kill from passion or premeiditation has often defined our world... past, present and future.; ; Wars have terrorized entire populations for thousands of years. The American West was home to ruthless killers who were idolized in fiction and folklore. Evil evolved to a hideous new form with the genocidal dictators of the 20th century such as Hitler, Stalin and Mao Tse Tung who ordered the death of tens of millions. But in the middle of the 20th century a new and chilling phenomenom emerged in post-war Western society... the serial killer. As if fashioned from our nightmares, they terrify and fascinate us. Lurking behind masks of bland normality they often evade capture for years, decades or eternity. They are America's Serial Killers.
