Summary

This week's episode tells the story of the Gainesville ripper, who was the inspiration for the horror movie "Scream". Tormenting a college campus, Danny Rolling killed several young women in the comfort of their own home, causing hundreds of college students to withdraw from school. He blamed this on "Gemini", one of his alternate personalities.

0:00.0	Hey, everyone. Hey everyone, it's Jen, and this is Lindsay.
0:27.3	And this is Corpus Delicti. Tonight we come at you with probably one of the scariest ones, I will say, thus far.
0:36.8	This one is definitely one of those that will make you shiver and want to go watch something that's happy.
