This documentary account follows the manhunt for Jack Unterweger, a celebrated Austrian writer and paroled murderer who strangled prostitutes across Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Los Angeles, hiding behind a literary reputation that won him public sympathy. Austrian detectives, with no experience of serial offenders, turned to FBI profiler Greg McCrary, whose analysis of the victims, the signature knots tied from their own clothing, and a computer database search linked eleven killings to one man, while Los Angeles investigators supplied matching evidence from his visit to the city. After his flight to America and arrest in Miami, Unterweger was extradited and convicted in 1994 of nine murders, then took his own life in prison, a case that pushed Europe to adopt criminal profiling and violent crime databases.
