Firing Line

A Look at the Hillside Stranglers (20x41)

Air date: Nov 12, 1985

An absorbing show but painful, both because of the grisly subject matter (the 1977 rape-murders of ten young women in Southern California) and because of the controversial role played by Dr. Watkins in the investigation and trial, and the merciless interrogation of him here by Mr. O'Brien on the question whether one of the Stranglers had a multiple personality.
