Lucas claimed to have killed hundreds of people across the United States — confessions that earned him the title of “America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer.” But as investigators started digging deeper, cracks began to form in his story. Were his confessions real — or part of an elaborate lie enabled by law enforcement and the media? Love the episode?
