Summary

Unable to control his violent lust, serial killer Joel Rifkin preyed on vulnerable sex workers across New York City with increasing frequency throughout the 1990s. As his crimes escalated, Rifkin became more reckless and sloppy, leaving behind crucial evidence. Ultimately, his growing carelessness led to his capture, and it was only a matter of time before police caught him in the act. Mind of a Serial Killer is a Crime House Original.
