Between 1988 and 2002, the quiet city of Baiyin, Gansu, lived in fear. Over a dozen women were found brutally murdered — their bodies mutilated in ways that shocked even seasoned investigators. But what's even more terrifying and mystifying, is that the killer seemed to vanish after each attack, leaving only whispers in the wind. Part 1 - We explore the background of the Baiyin Butcher, Gao Chengyong, and how he managed to terrorize various parts of China. Part 2 - We follow investigators as they finally piece together the puzzle, and put a stop to one of the most brutal criminals that China had ever seen.
