Southside Strangler _ S1 E6 _ Forensic Files _ FULL EPISODE

A series of rapes and strangulations in Virginia spanned eight years, leaving a trail of victims from their 20s to a 79-year-old grandmother. The police had a suspect, but DNA evidence told a different story. This is the case that made history as the first in the U.S. to use DNA profiling to convict a serial killer—and free an innocent man. Timothy Spencer was linked to the crimes, bringing an end to a reign of terror and beginning a new era in forensic science.
