In the 1980s, women with red hair began vanishing along highways in the Bible Belt, their bodies discarded in shallow graves or along desolate roads. Truck driver Jerry Leon Johns was arrested after his brutal attack on a young dancer went awry, linking him to at least one of the infamous "Redhead Murders."

Spanning six states, 14 victims, and decades of unanswered questions, this chilling true crime saga explores the patterns of a predator, the lives of the victims, and the enduring mystery: Was Johns the Redhead Killer—or is he still out there?
