In the sultry heat of Louisiana, where the bayous whisper secrets and the air hangs heavy with the scent of Magnolius,

a darkness lurked beneath the surface.

Derek Todd Lee was a man whose charm masked a sinister reality.

He was a monster.

Lee, a seemingly ordinary man with a disarming smile,

led a double life that would unravel in a series of murders

in the capital city of Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas.

As the first reports of disappearances and murders began to

surface, South Louisiana was thrust into a nightmare igniting a frantic search for answers.

The true horror was just beginning, and the hunt for a serial killer, eventually known by

just three letters, would reveal not only the depths of Derek Todd Lee's depravity,

but also the resilience of those most affected's depravity, but also the resilience

of those most affected by his evil acts, the families, and the survivors. This is DTF. Charlotte Marie Pace's murder was fresh on the minds of investigators in Baton Rouge.

Even the very word, murder, it just didn't do it justice.

This was an act upon a young girl so vile that mere words weren't enough.

If the saying a picture is worth a thousand words were used in this case, this would be the Sistine Chapel of pictures. Language,

which is usually so reliable, it just simply fails here. Everything that took place in Murray's

home crossed the line of mere murder.

Violence of this capacity was more than brutality.

This was like a rupture, a moment where violence exceeds what our minds can fathom and crosses into the realm of annihilation.

81 stab wounds and multiple organs perforated.

A screwdriver through the eye and rape? That's not murder. It's beyond.
