Manifesto of a Serial Killer

If you are a True Crime Documentary fan this is a must see. This is a major True Crime story which has surprisingly not often been told, and when it has been, it has not been told in depth - nor from the victim's families perspective, which is a disservice to them & their pain. Shot with current and old footage, this documentary gives the viewer a first hand look into the behaviour of people involved at the time of the crimes. This is a well crafted documentary which tells all the facts, whilst also highlighting the very human element of family that can't help but make anyone with a heart emotional at the stories told.

Manifesto of a Serial Killer is one of the better mini-series documentaries by the Oxygen channel (NBCUniversal Television and Streaming). It delves into the spree of murders and tortures committed by Leonard Lake and Charles Chat Ng, and also, deservedly so, points the finger directly at Lake's ex-wife whose exculpation may be one the greatest travesties / miscarriages of justice within the American Judicial System, to date.

Even for True Crime aficionados, Manifesto of a Serial Killer is not easy to watch. Less so, is it easy to understand the level of depravity that some humans are capable of, and that are depicted not in reenactments, but from real recordings and footage.

If you are not familiar with the case (as I was not), you will be shocked that this is not a case which is more well-known. If you are aware of the case, you will certainly learn more than what you thought you knew of it.

Either way, you can't help but be affected by it.

Had the best kinky and fetishlike friendship on earth, but was that good for the rest of the society? Definately not, as it was unveiled by californian criminal justice ''league''( police fbi etc), the two culprits kidnapped and surtainly killed 20 to 30 people in a killing spree lasting from 1982 to 1985, and there are still reasons to believe that there are more victims that hasnt been reported missing, nor found on that top of the hill walseyville california.

So if your going to dig for gold in this particullar area, you might find some white ivoryish stuff, well its not an elephant, more likely its bodyparts that should be reported to the police asap, cause mr ng (ning ning) is still alive.

Its one of the better oxygene productions, with minimal use of dramatization, loads of crime scene stuff and a myriad of media cuts and clips, it starts off a little slow but ep 2 and 3 will make your hair stand at the edge.

This is one among the worst of crimes done in the u.s , apart from war incidents and organized crime and civil uproars, criminal history for sure,if youd like to learn more about crime related history, then do as the grumpy old man, and delve into it. Its gross...and very well made.
