Investigative Journalist Tracy Ullman Exposes Unseen Truths Behind Serial Killers

TV Producer, Author. Works include: John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise (6-part docuseries streamed on Peacock) BTK: Confession of a Serial Killer (2-part event on A&E) GANGLANDS – Mongol Nation (History Channel) CityUnderWater (PBS) Strange Inheritance (Fox Business Network) Chasing Freedom (OJ Simpson – MSNBC) I’m originally from the suburbs of Chicago and have spent my life observing the human condition, often fascinated by the extremes.  I went to the University of Iowa in an attempt to use photography to study people.  When my parents let me know they thought art was a hobby and I’d need to get a degree that led to a job, I switched to Broadcasting and Film (ha!). After beginning my work life as an assistant to a scientist researching at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in the San Blas Archipelago of Panama studying coral reef sex, I moved to London and then Glasgow, working as a medical photographer.  By chance, I got an interview at the BBC in Glasgow – they were looking for someone to start their internet presence…in Gaelic (thank you, Ken MacQuarrie!). My world continued to get wider as I moved into making documentary film, my first about the US collegiate Greek rush process (BBC) and my second about people dating over the age of 50 (ITV). I returned to the US after 7 years, where my focus has been on true crime programming – having the privilege of asking people questions about their most intimate experiences of life, love and death. Obviously, this is the glossed over version of a life lived with intensity, so I’m hoping you’ll read my blog for the nuggets that taught me a thing or two about a thing or two.
