This episode details the history of the unsolved "Bigfoot Killer" murders that plagued Detroit during the mid-1970s. The narrative focuses on the Cass Corridor, a neighborhood then synonymous with poverty and crime, where several women were systematically raped and murdered. Investigations into these tragedies were complicated by strained relations between the police and the local community, as well as several misidentified suspects. While individuals like Carl Mayweather Jr. and Donald Murphy were arrested for separate violent crimes, the specific perpetrator behind the Bigfoot moniker was never definitively caught. Today, the city has undergone significant revitalization, yet the documentary serves as a grim reminder of a violent era and the many victims who never received justice.
