Filmmaker Sean Reid explores black serial killers and the lack of public information and media representation about them. He highlights the cases of Samuel Little, the Grim Sleeper, and the Sunday Morning Slasher, who have high body counts but are not widely known. Reid interviews Allan Branson, a criminal justice professor. Branson discusses the history of African-American serial killers and the negative stereotypes and biases that have influenced their portrayal in the media. Reid also examines the evolution of criminal profiling and the challenges in identifying and solving serial murders. This is especially true when victims are marginalized or overlooked by society. The cases of the DC Snipers and Coral Watts are mentioned as examples of black serial killers who were not initially suspected due to racial bias. The transcript emphasizes the importance of studying black serial killers to better understand criminal behavior and develop effective prevention and profiling strategies.
