Horton, Adrian (December 5, 2019). "He was America's most deadly serial killer – but it was all a lie". The Guardian. Retrieved August 31, 2021. The subject of anxious news features and four feature films, Lucas confessed to murdering hundreds of people – at first 100, then 200, then about 600. An odd-jobs drifter with three teeth and a lazy eye, Lucas would recall, often on camera, precise and grisly details about each victim. Police officers from across the country interviewed him for more than 3,000 murder cases, to much fanfare; at least 200 cases were attributed to him, closing them to further investigation and making Lucas the country's most prolific serial killer.
