Product Description

"When drifter Henry Lee Lucas confessed to hundreds of aimless murders in the mid-eighties, it opened one of the most incredible cases in the annals of justice. He provided details of crimes nationwide which led to over 200 murder cases nationwide. But later independent investigations suggested that Lucas's claims were bogus, and argued that he had been fed information for his confessions by the Texas Rangers. Yet another investigation, by the Texas Attorney General, reached the same conclusion. Lucas then recanted all his confessions, claiming that he had made his outrageous claims to expose law enforcement and prove that "they don't do their job." The Rangers maintain that he is in fact a killer, and he remains on death row. This examination of the sensational case includes an extensive interview with Lucas, who now maintains his innocence, the Texas Ranger who took his original confession, and the reporter who initially broke the story of the hoax. From the initial revelations to the ongoing controversy, it is a fascinating look at one of the most bizarre cases of all time." NOTE: Lucas died in prison in 2001 having had his sentence commuted to life imprisonment at the request of then Texas Governor George W. Bush.

Myth Of A Serial Killer: The Henry Lee Lucas Story Review

Lucas is an enigma. Is he the worst serial killer in history, or nothing but a big-time compulsive liar enjoying all the attention ?. This facinating programme gives a very good look at him, so you can decide for yourself. -There's lots of "smilin' old Henry" footage here. For kicks, he may have exaggerated heavily in the numbers of murders, but I have no doubt that he's a nasty multiple killer. Only a complete idiot would admit to something like 100+ murders, if he hadn't done it. As with most serial killers, his upbringing is to blame. In this case, the mother was a violent drunken insane prostitute. Some combination. -Naturally he "accidentally" killed her. This guy hated everybody, and probably thought: "society payback time", when he went out looking for victims to torture. Latest news is, he's escaped the needle for the '79 "orange socks" murder, due to some sudden new "fact" that he couldn't have been there. -Considering he knew details about the crime only the killer could know, even pointing out the scene; to me this sounds like a major screw-up somewhere. Instead, he'll now "only" rot in jail for two other murders.
