00:00Morales, what do we got?
00:02Inmate L-23, Xander Wax, a self-checkout scanner in Washington, D.C., picked up a partial fingerprint.
00:08You know this guy, Bexton?
00:09I do. He's not from D.C.
00:12Well, not all killers go back home, apparently. What are we dealing with?
00:15We are dealing with a very smart individual.
00:18Highly educated, Xander Wax was a biochemist by training.
00:21Confirmed to have killed at least ten people.
00:23But that number is believed to be a lot higher.
00:26Not much higher.
00:26Estimates are north of 20, but it's possible he had as many as 40 victims,
00:30because his kills were often mistaken as heart attacks or strokes.
00:34Huh.
00:35How do you pull that off?
00:36He used highly lethal animal venoms as poisons.
00:38Snakes. Great.
00:40What made Xander so difficult to catch is that he had no discernible victimology.
00:45Instead, he would leave neurotoxins on public objects for random people to interact with.
00:50Gas station pumps, buttons in an elevator, sugar packets in a diner.
00:54He didn't care who he killed.
00:55And for him, the thrill was the randomness of it all.
00:58He would relish in the feeling of power and control,
01:00knowing that at any moment some unsuspecting victim would come across one of his laid traps.
01:06The anticipation of it was his high.
01:08How did this guy get caught?
01:09They worked backwards through his college days.
01:11A suspicious dorm room death was just the break they needed.
01:14He killed his roommate.
01:15It was his first kill and his only impulsive, targeted victim.
01:19As is often the case, Xander's M.O. evolved from there,
01:22driven by his compulsive desire to re-experience that thrill.
01:25All right, let's get to D.C. before this monster sets any more traps.
01:44Come on, come on.
01:46Damn it.
01:47Damn it.
01:49Come on.
01:53Come on.
01:55Come on.
01:56Come on.
01:57Come on.
02:22Who are you?
02:29That looks painful.
02:35Come on.
02:35Come on.
02:35Come on.
