Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of Son of Sam's earlier victims drove away when SoS opened fire on the car, and didn't even discover he had been shot until after arriving at the hospital seeking medical attention for his girlfriend.
Tangentially, this proves what the FBI have been saying for years, despite people's unwillingness to believe them: people cannot be thrown backwards by a bullet, and quite often are not even aware of being hit.
- GoofsThe team refers to the "Butcher of Kingsbury Run" as a Cleveland serial killer who found his victims in gay bars and shot them in a local park. This is possibly a veiled reference to Jeffrey Dahmer. However, although Dahmer found his victims in gay bars, he never shot them in a park. The real Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run, also known as The Cleveland Torso Killer, was active from 1935 to 1938, though estimates vary putting him as possibly active from the 1920s through 1950. He found his victims in the shanty-towns of Cleveland during the Great Depression and killed them by decapitating and often dismembering them. To date only 2 of his victims have been positively identified, a third tentatively identified and one has ever been charged for the crimes. The official body count for the Torso Killer stands at 12, though it's possible he killed upwards of 40 people.
