MURDER FILES - TRUE CRIME INVESTIGATIONS - COLLECTION #1 Jack the Stripper Early in 1964 a prostitute was found murdered by the River Thames in London. Over the next 12 months, another five streetwalkers were murdered. A maniac was at large. After a massive police operation he was finally trapped by bluff, but to this day his name has never been revealed. Killer in the Shadows Between 1969 and 1976, eight apparently motiveless murders plunged the small French town of Nogent-sur-Oise into a climate of terror. Eventually the police arrested Marcel Barbeault, who had been a good father and attentive husband. He was accused of five of the murders, but he never admitted his crimes. Utah Death Wish In January 1977 Gary Gilmore got his wish when he died in front of a firing squad in Utah. After receiving the death sentence for two casual and pointless murders, Gilmore had waged a unique campaign from his Death Row cell - he had fought for the right to die. The Plainfield Butcher In 1958, the murderer of two women and mutilator of 15 corpses, a harmless looking odd job man, was committed to Wisconsin State insane asylum. His horrifying deeds had shocked America and provided the factual basis for Hitchcock’s classic spine-chiller, Psycho.
