Florida Vs The FBI | TRIPLE EPISODE | The FBI Files

Killing Spree (S01E08): The rapes and murders of ten women near Tampa, Florida in 1984 had the authorities puzzled and the community scared. Since the beginning, the FBI had been analyzing the crime scene evidence and had found a common link: red trilobal carpet fibers. But there was no suspect, until one of the killer’s potential victims survived. Through her interviews and the cooperation of local authorities and the FBI, 31-year-old Bobby Joe Long emerged as the prime suspect. Fibers from his car and those found on the lone survivor matched those at the crime scenes. Long was convicted of eight of the murders and rapes.

A Model Killer (S02E01): In 1984, south Miami became the home for a sadistic serial killer. Posing as a fashion photographer, Christopher Wilder lured young women from shopping malls with promises of fame and fortune. Most ended up dead. As the FBI closed in around him, Wilder took off on a cross-country murderous rampage. The FBI added Wilder to their Most Wanted Fugitives program. The chase was on, and Wilder ultimately lost. What stopped the serial killer was not brilliant or sophisticated police work, but national publicity that the FBI created.

Killer Abroad (S02E14); Beginning in summer of 1990, the bodies of several women began turning up in and around the city of Vienna, Austria. From an extensive investigation by the Viennese police, it was determined that these murders were the work of one sadistic predator. Europe was dealing with a serial killer. With no experience with this kind of predator, Viennese police turned to the FBI. FBI profilers were able to identify a suspect in the murders. More ominously, they linked this same killer to murders committed in the United States. An international manhunt was underway. The killer, Jack Unterweger, a celebrated writer in his native Germany was tracked down and arrested in Miami, Florida.
