Deadly Women: Twisted Thrills
Overview
Christina Walters defies the odds by becoming a gang leader at age 20 and attempts to earn the Crips' tear tattoo under an eye meaning they've killed. As deadly initiation, Christina and her gang kidnap three women in two separate abductions and shoot them like lambs to the slaughter. The seemingly senseless murders would've remained unsolved if it weren't for one thing – one woman is still alive. Judith Neelley and her husband Alvin met and after marrying when she was 15, they begin a crime spree. After being released on armed robbery charges, Judith and Alvin commit the most heinous of crimes by abducting, raping, torturing and murdering two women, one of them a 13-year-old girl. One extraordinary breakthrough leads to an eyewitness confession and one detail ultimately leads to their arrest. Irene Maslin gladly plans to help kill her friend's on-again-off-again boyfriend by injecting him with battery acid.
