In 2005 and 2006, a predator known as the Baseline Killer turned Phoenix into a city of fear. Over roughly ten months, Mark Goudeau carried out a brutal spree of sexual assaults, armed robberies, kidnappings, and nine murders—mostly of women—many of them near Baseline Road. This episode traces the investigation that linked the attacks, the disguises and methods he used to evade capture, and the DNA and ballistics evidence that ultimately put him on Arizona’s death row with nine death sentences.
