In this week's episode Kat talks about Lucky Ward, a serial killer from Houston. Lucky Ward is a 54-year-old man who was homeless and lived his life on the edge. He had a lengthy rap sheet had been arrested multiple times for various crimes. As someone who had lived a life of crime from early on, he knew that targeting the vulnerable would arouse very little suspicion - so he targeted victims who were homeless or in shelters or were transgenders. Join us as we explore the dark side of humanity.
