When authorities began closing in on Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, they uncovered a pattern of calculated and deeply troubling behaviour that had gone unnoticed for far too long. As the investigation developed, evidence began to reveal the scale of what had taken place, leading to arrests that would bring national attention and a trial that remains one of the most infamous in U.S. history. This episode breaks down how the case unfolded, how the pair were eventually identified, and the lasting impact it had on law enforcement and public awareness.
