Episode Description from the Publisher

He confessed to hundreds of murders across the United States, closing cold case after cold case, while sheriffs and rangers lined up to hand him files and take credit for “solving” them. But as timelines clashed, details didn’t match, and impossible alibis emerged, Lucas’s story warped into something even darker: a mix of real violence, false confessions, and a justice system so eager for answers that it stopped asking the right questions.
