Famous Crimes #16 "The Avenging Murderer" recounts the case of Cliff Sutterstone, a brutal executioner-style killer who murdered victims in Greenham, North Carolina in October 1933 and left calling cards marked with his victims' names. After committing multiple murders and evading police through a taunting phone call, Sutterstone was eventually traced and arrested, receiving a death sentence by electric chair in November 1933. The story documents his capture following a police investigation that tracked his movements and criminal activities across the city.
