"THE GRAY MAN: ALBERT FISH AND THE LETTER THAT CAUGHT A MONSTER"

Reid Carter examines America's most disturbing serial killer ninety years after his execution. Albert Fish, the "Gray Man," murdered at least three children between 1924-1928, though he claimed dozens more. In 1928, the 58-year-old lured 10-year-old Grace Budd from her family's Manhattan apartment, promising her a birthday party. Six years later, Fish sent Grace's mother an anonymous letter describing exactly what he did. That letter led detectives to his door. The trial featured an unprecedented insanity defense - psychiatrists identified 18 separate paraphilias. The jury acknowledged Fish was insane but convicted him anyway. They wanted him dead.
