279: The Happy Face Killer: Mind of A Monster

On January 22, 1990, the body of 23 year old Tanuja Bennett is discovered in a wooded area known as the Columbia Gorge near Portland, Oregon. Soon a woman named Laverne Pavlinac would confess to helping her husband commit the brutal crime. But her story isn't adding up. Then, suddenly, a written confession on a bathroom stall door connects Tanjua's murder to a string of others and authorities quickly realize they have a serial killer on the loose.
