The city is frozen under a sheet of ice, but inside a quiet apartment on the north side… something very dark was being uncovered. Detectives enter an apartment, push open the door and just stop. The air is still and thick. The room smells like iron, something sickly sweet. And then detectives see it. On the wall, scrawled in janky ass writing, there's a message written in the victims red lipstick saying: “For heaven’s sake catch me before I kill more. I cannot control myself.” Was it a confession? A warning? And the biggest question, what if they meant it? It's a message that would send the city into full blown panic and launch a manhunt for a killer who, even after being caught, would leave people thinking, was that the right guy? Today we are talking about The Lipstick Killer. Disclaimer: Today's episode contains discussions of violence, murder, and sensitive topics that may be disturbing to some viewers.
