EVIL is often defined as the absence of good or as actions and intentions that cause harm, suffering, or destruction. It can manifest in various forms, such as moral wrongdoing, cruelty, and injustice.

This episode will give you a chill down your spine. Edna Cowell Martin was a cousin of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy and grew up with him while they were both living in Washington state. What Edna didn't know at first was that Bundy was on a murder spree throughout the state, and would often go visit Edna and her friends after committing a murder in the area. This story takes a turn when Edna starts to put it all together, and finds herself Face To Face with Evil.
