Quite interesting, hard to understand what makes a person snap into a cold blooded and cold hearted person. God forgive them, because if I were a member of the family's of the victims....I never could .

Hope to see more episodes of this show. She does a GREAT job presenting the full picture of the criminal "person" and "psyche". Terribly sorry for the families who lost loves ones as well as for the victims themselves. This show gives you a glimpse of the person who committed the crime. Most people would judge and feel that justice is served, but when you learn of how the criminal was brought up in many cases an abusive family and never given a chance to develop into an adult or had undiagnosed mental illness...it makes one think. Michelle presents both sides in a professional way. PLEASE MORE EPISODES!!!
