Happy Face Killer | Part 1 | 015

May 2

A Canadian-born, American serial killer had a monster hiding deep inside his psyche, just waiting to be unleashed. At some point, he decided, either consciously or unconsciously, that he would release his inner monster, ultimately leaving a trail of dead female bodies in it’s wake. He stalked the Pacific Northwest and was known as the "Happy Face Killer“. He earned his nickname after he drew happy faces on letters to prosecutors and The Oregonian in which he boasted of his crimes. You may have heard this story before, but not like this and not with these new developments. Grab your coffee and let’s get our true crime fix!
