Tonight we discuss the intriguing and heartbreaking case of Mr. Cruel, Australia's most infamous child murderer. The masked stranger crept into family homes at night, tied up the parents and disappeared into the night carrying a child under his arm. In two incidents, he let the children go after holding them captive and filming himself carrying out his perverse fantasies with them. But in his last known crime, he crossed the line from kidnapper to murderer.

Now, nearly 30 years after his last known offense, investigators are ramping up their efforts to finally unmask Mr. Cruel. This case is often compared to America's Golden State Killer and some have even speculated that Mr. Cruel and Golden State are one and the same. We'll attempt to separate fact from fiction on tonight's Spooky A S.
