Serial killers are the dark stars of modern culture, but is it nature or nurture that creates a serial killer? Born To Kill takes an in-depth look at the cases of some of the most notorious murderers that have shocked the world.
In California, mild-mannered Roman Catholic Herbert William Mullin had a normal upbringing, but as he graduated high school and was voted most likely to succeed by classmates, paranoid schizophrenia set in, and soon he would begin a string of thirteen killings and murders (13 October, 1972, through 13 February, 1973) which he claimed God ordered him to do (in his head) to prevent cataclysmic earthquakes. At trial, it wasn't his guilt that was in question but his sanity.
This film was first broadcast: 2013
