Get ready to go on a dark and chilling journey through the mind and actions of one of the world's cruelest serial killers ever - Carl Panzram.

Born on a dying farm and soon abandoned by his father, Carl Panzram's life was bleak from the start. While other children played and went to school, he toiled away on his family's land, the threat of brutal punishment always looming over his head.
