#186 - Thomas Sweatt

Thomas Seatt was a quiet man but behind closed doors, he was a predator.

Between the years of 1998-2004 he preyed on young women across the Midwest, luring them in before brutally ending their lives. For years, police struggled to connect the crimes as Seatt was careful, methodical and always one step ahead.
