Episode 70: The Snuff Film Killers (Serial Killers Leonard Lake & Charles Ng)
Most people collect ordinary things - paintings, books, baseball cards. But what if you could collect your darkest desires? Two men decide they will collect women to be held captive in their torture bunker.
The men started gathering all their weapons of torture - power drills, clamps, gags, and pliers… the last thing they needed was a video camera. Because they were going to film it all.
The snuff film director, the collector, and the serial killer.
