DANCE WITH THE DEVIL
Wednesday, March 14th, 10pm

In August 1982, a 30-year-old woman was found murdered in her Newark, New Jersey apartment. Her killer had strangled until she passed out, ripped open her blouse, posed her with her breasts exposed, and brutally stabbed her in the chest. He left no fingerprints or DNA…just a shattered, grieving family.

Over the next 19 years, three other New England women were attacked in a similar way… and two of them died.

Police caught their assailant, Edwin "Ned" Snelgrove, a promising college grad with an uncontrollable desire to hurt women and one very sick hero — mass murderer Ted Bundy. Ned studied the infamous killer, looked up to him…and in the end, decided he would Dance with the Devil

Snelgrove went to prison twice for his 19-year crime spree — once in 1988, and again in 2005. But did he get away with murder in 1982?

Ned has never confessed…and for true crime author M. William Phelps, it's the ultimate coup. But as he plays cat and mouse with this cunning killer, sometimes it's hard to tell who is the puppet and who is the master.

As he gets in deeper, Phelps turns to criminal profiler John Kelly, who has managed to keep a killer on the line for ten years — an incarcerated serial murderer code-named "13".

Will Phelps learn how to use a killer to catch a killer — or has he been controlled and manipulated by a truly Dark Mind?
