During the summer of 1984, Alton Coleman and Debra Brown launched a 53-day crime spree that terrorized the Midwest. Crossing six states, the pair kidnapped, raped, tortured, robbed, and murdered victims ranging from young children to elderly couples. Their crimes shocked the nation and resulted in one of the largest multi-state manhunts in FBI history. This episode follows the trail of violence, the hunt that finally ended their reign of terror, and the disturbing relationship that fueled one of America's most notorious killer duos.
