Summary
A kind gesture to a stranger—just a pack of cigarettes and a dollar—turned into a nightmare for one man when William Pierce Jr. came back to collect his debt. Pierce, a troubled man from a broken home, spiraled into a life of crime and murder after a traumatic head injury. From robbing stores to the horrific killing of a babysitter and a young girl, Pierce left behind a trail of blood across Georgia and South Carolina. In this episode, we’ll explore the tragic events, the failed parole system, and how one man’s small act of compassion unleashed a monster.
