00:00That same animal can be formed into an exquisite display of power.
00:05The right shoe is a celebration of your place at the top of the food chain.
00:10You don't need to sell me.
00:11I flew in from L.A. to visit your shop.
00:14You're a long way from home.
00:15It's all part of the adventure.
00:18Speaking of which, I was so hoping you might have something a bit more...exotic?
00:24More exotic than alligator.
00:27Not to be rude, Mr. Carr, but I didn't plan a trip for something I can get at Ralph Lauren.
00:34I may have something in the back.
00:37What is it?
00:38Well, just a fine pair of stilettos fashioned from the rare Eastern Black Rhino.
00:44Shh.
01:05There you are.
01:07A partially skinned body was just found in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle in New Haven, Connecticut.
01:12Identified as David Stevens, a local reported missing by his coworkers a week ago.
01:16DNA on the trash bag matches Pitt escapee Elliot Carr.
01:21The Connecticut Cobbler.
01:22Excuse me, did you just say cobbler?
01:25Oh yeah, sure did.
01:27Carr was a high-end shoemaker out of New Haven, Connecticut, specializing in rare and exotic handmade leathers.
01:33Before Carr was caught, he ran a successful boutique business with high-profile clients from all over the world.
01:39He was known for his black market bespoke leather goods made from the hides of endangered animals, elephants, rhinos, stingrays,
01:46and people.
01:49He would skin them alive and then make shoes from human leather.
01:53Okay. Yep, I'm done.
01:55Diagnosed as a malignant narcissist, he had focus on power control and dominance, killing nine people over ten years, making
02:02one pair of shoes from each.
02:04This dude actually sold shoes he made from people.
02:07No. No, he kept those ones for himself.
02:09Oh, yeah, that's better then.
02:11He targeted people he saw as confident and powerful, those that had command over their own lives.
02:16Not a surprise that his sociopathy stemmed from a difficult childhood.
02:20Let me guess. Daddy issues.
02:22Uh, uncle issues, actually.
02:25When he was young, he apprenticed under his uncle a well-known shoemaker who ridiculed and berated him,
02:30instilling a desperate craving for power over his uncle and control over his own life.
02:35Which is why at 17, he snapped, killing his uncle before skinning him.
02:41So, he made shoes out of his uncle?
02:44Um, boots, technically.
02:47Ugh, I don't know why, but that is so much worse.
02:49Yeah, he even wore them to his first police interview showing power over the cops and his uncle.
02:53Public trophies like this are not uncommon in serials, but this sort of exhibitionism, that's rare.
02:58I just want a hell of a flex.
03:00Alright, get going. We'll send you the files in the air.
