Passionate about death, serial killer Nathan Baxter left details of the murders he committed over the years in a journal that had been stored in a police locker until now. These journal entries are presented in unedited form and offer a look into the mind of a killer. Occasionally, detailed insight of the crime scene will be provided by local law enforcement professionals. The first entry is about Nicole Winters. She was a 28-year-old secretary who met Baxter in the small town of Cottonwood, AZ. It wouldn't be long after their encounter that she would become another one of his victims.

"Dans les années 1980, une nouvelle drogue fit son apparition dans les milieux noctambules : le MDMA, dit "ecstasy". Cette "pilule de l'amour" provoquait d'étranges effets : bouffées de chaleur, envie de danser toute la nuit sur de la techno, besoin de caresser des gens, grincements de dents, déshydratation accélérée, angoisse existentielle, tentatives de suicide, demandes en mariage. C'était une drogue dure avec une montée et une descente, comme dans les montagnes russes ou les nouvelles de certains écrivains américains."

In a blink of an eye, it could all go south and the person near us, the one with whom we share a bed for years and a house may threaten our life. We may be blind and fall in love with a perfect handsome stranger who may not be so ‘’perfect’’.
