They let him get away.

We'll start with a group of teenage girls on the hunt for their friend Mawa, who disappeared.

But they don't know that a frightening predator is also on the hunt, killing girls just like her.

Days pass and Mawa is still nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, the bodies of murdered women were being discovered.

Another teen, a college student, a woman in recovery.

And we'll meet each of these young women and learn their stories.

Well, most people have never heard of him.

He isn't what you're picturing, the John Wayne Gacy's hiding in the suburbs.

Okay, and was it anything?

We also talked to the close friends who thought they knew him best.

I think that's probably why you didn't tell me.

This story is still not over.
