Phoenix Serial Killer Showdown

In 2006, the city of Phoenix experienced an unprecedented wave of terror as investigators realized multiple independent killers were operating simultaneously. The Baseline Killer, later identified as Mark Goudeau, targeted women in a series of brutal sexual assaults and execution-style murders while disguising his appearance. Concurrently, a pair of accomplices known as the Serial Shooters, Dale Hausner and Samuel Dieteman, engaged in random drive-by shootings fueled by a desire for media attention and a perceived rivalry. Authorities eventually dismantled the Serial Shooters using wiretaps and physical evidence left in a dumpster after realizing their crimes escalated alongside media coverage of the Baseline Killer. Ultimately, DNA evidence and a crucial tip linked Goudeau to his numerous crimes, leading to his arrest and subsequent death sentences.
