Episode: "Thrill Kill"
Written by Christine Alexiou
In the winter of 2005, under the cover of darkness, a killer cruises the city streets of downtown Phoenix, AZ, hunting for prey. In a single night, three homeless men and four animals were shot to death - and a woman was critically injured - all by a .22-calibre long rifle. Upon deeper investigation, Det. Clark Schwartzkopf discovers a shocking number of unsolved, similar ambush-style shootings in recent months - and makes a stunning realization: based on ballistics and scatter pattern reconstruction, Schwartzkopf concludes that they are looking for not one killer, but two - a driver and a shooter. The pair of killers, known to profilers as "Team Thrill Killers," is motivated to kill together by the adrenaline rush of hunting victims and spreading terror. Can he make a connection and stop the killer duo before panic takes hold of Phoenix?
