Ep 5. Clockwork Orange

In this episode of CopyCat Killers, we explore the chilling case of the Clockwork Orange murder. The episode begins with a recreation of the brutal killing of a woman named Marsha Spicer, who was found dead in her apartment in 2006.

Police were initially stumped by the case, as there were no signs of forced entry or struggle. However, they soon discovered that Marsha had been killed with a hammer, and that her killer had left behind a number of mysterious clues.
