They thought they had got away with murder. They were wrong.

Discover the vital clues, the crucial evidence, the lucky breaks, the chases, the painstaking detective work, and the unlikely heroes that led to the capture of some of the world's most notorious murderers and serial killers, such as "The Good Nurse" poisoner Charles Cullen, finally detected by a young colleague; "Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez, spotted by a 13-year-old boy; " Son of Sam", unmasked by a parking ticket; John Wayne Gacy, connected to his final victim by a stray receipt; and, Rodney Alcala, spotted on a TV game show...

Killers Caught reveals the remarkable circumstances leading to the downfall of these deadly individuals, as well as the stories of how many more of crime's most notorious and prolific murderers were finally brought to justice.
