Brief synopsis
France, 1997: The "Beast of the Bastille" makes the streets of Paris unsafe. The brutal killer: Guy Georges, one of France's most famous serial killers.
He follows pretty young women home at night, forces them into the apartment at knife point. There he rapes and murders them. Already in his childhood his dark desire develops, which he later acts out in the streets of Paris.
Without pity for his victims. Seven women die at the hands of the merciless serial killer. The search for the murderous stranger keeps the police and an entire city on tenterhooks for almost seven years.
Profiler Stephan Harbort and criminal psychologist Lydia Benecke examine the psyche of the perpetrator.
Part 2
Within only one year eleven prostitutes are murdered in Austria, the Czech Republic and the USA. What nobody suspects: behind the series of murders is the writer Jack Unterweger.
The serial killer was considered an exemplary rehabilitated prisoner, was a welcome guest at parties and the darling of Vienna's chic society. But at night he lured unsuspecting prostitutes into his car, drove them into the woods and raped them.
Hardly any other serial killer has succeeded in deceiving the public as Jack Unterweger did. A real Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde.
Profiler Stephan Harbort and psychologist Lydia Benecke analyze how Jack Unterweger managed to maintain his double life for so long and secretly pursue his murderous desires.
