With no clear pattern, men and women from all walks of life fell victim to his ruthless attacks. As investigators struggled to track him down, the killer taunted authorities, leaving a blood-soaked trail across the city. Who was the man who called himself "The King of the Criminal World," and how was he finally caught? Join us as we unravel the terrifying case of the Gorky Maniac.
