In the forgotten corners of South Central Los Angeles, a predator stalked the streets for over two decades, systematically hunting society's most vulnerable women while remaining completely invisible to law enforcement. Chester Turner didn't just kill – he perfected the art of making victims disappear without a trace, building one of the most extensive and horrifying body counts in California history while an innocent man sat on death row for his crimes.This complete investigation reveals the full scope of Turner's reign of terror: at least 15 confirmed murders, possibly dozens more, spanning from 1987 to 2007. His victims were sex workers, drug addicts, and homeless women – people society had forgotten, making them perfect targets for a killer who understood that no one would come looking for them. But Turner's methodology was far more sophisticated and disturbing than anyone realized.Through exclusive access to the complete case files, never-before-released crime scene footage, and shocking confessions that were sealed for years, we reveal how Turner operated: the psychological manipulation he used to gain victims' trust, the ritualistic nature of his murders, and the meticulous way he disposed of evidence. His ability to blend into the community while harboring such dark impulses challenges everything we understand about how serial killers function in society.But this full episode exposes an even more terrifying reality: Turner's case represents one of the most catastrophic failures in criminal justice history. While he continued killing, an innocent man named David Allen Jones spent years on death row for Turner's crimes. The DNA evidence that finally exonerated Jones and exposed Turner as the real killer came too late – Turner had used those years to claim even more victims. We reveal the complete timeline of Turner's crimes, including newly discovered evidence linking him to cold cases across multiple jurisdictions. The forensic breakthroughs that finally caught him required revolutionary DNA analysis techniques, but they also uncovered evidence of additional victims whose cases investigators are still working to solve today. This comprehensive investigation includes exclusive interviews with the detectives who spent decades hunting Turner, the families of victims who never gave up seeking justice, and the legal team that fought to expose the truth. Their revelations about Turner's psychological profile, his victim selection process, and his ability to evade capture for so long will fundamentally change how you view serial killer investigations. The episode also explores the social and systemic failures that allowed Turner to operate for so long: how marginalized communities are often ignored by law enforcement, how tunnel vision can lead to wrongful convictions, and how one man's evil can exploit society's blind spots to devastating effect. Warning: This full episode contains extremely graphic descriptions of sexual violence, torture, murder, and disturbing forensic evidence. The complete runtime includes detailed crime scene analysis and victim testimonies that may be deeply disturbing to listeners.
