Serial Killer: Arthur Shawcross

Welcome back, everyone! In this week’s episode Ellen talks about Arthur Shawcross; a serial killer from upstate New York, which happens to be Ellen’s favorite place in the world. Shawcross started his life of crime at a very young age and ended up being a big fat liar about many things he claimed to have done. However, some good old shoe leather police work would end up bringing his reign of terror to an end.
