The special features commentary from survivors and the victims' family members, including missing victim Andrea Hall, who’s family spoke out publicly for the first time, and Tracee Witney, Lawrence Bittaker’s next door neighbor, who reveals the horror she saw, and more.

Audience Member The story of the toolbox killer(s) is sick --- the retelling of it in this documentary...is not. Gruesome and confident, the toolbox killers terrorized the Redondo beach area in the late 70s. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
