This is Crime House.

They say trust is like a mirror. You can fix it once it's broken, but you can still see the cracks in the reflection.

Broken trust can occur between friends, romantic partners, and colleagues.

And those cracks can be overlooked.

They can simply move on with their lives.

But when trust is broken between those in charge and the people they're supposed to protect,

things can get more complicated.

Sometimes that level of betrayal is so vile and so deadly,

it's impossible for anyone to feel safe again. In the early 2000s, that's what happened

in Jennings, Louisiana. After a string of mysterious deaths, the people of Jennings knew

they were in grave danger. But when the violence continued and dark secrets came to light,

all hope was lost, and hate.

But sometimes it drives people to commit the unthinkable.

This is serial killers and murderous minds, a crimehouse original.
