Murdertown (2018)

S1E9 Sunderland

In the early 1990s, a string of tragic deaths among young boys occurred, often linked to glue sniffing and incidents in abandoned structures that ignited. As the occurrences continued, law enforcement grew increasingly concerned. Their investigation revealed a chilling truth: the boys were being deliberately murdered by a man named Steven Grieveson, infamously known as the Sunderland Strangler. This case remains a dark shadow over the town, and while many may not recognize his name, Grieveson is considered one of the most lethal criminals in the UK.
