Carl Eugene Watts is thought to have killed more than 100 women in Texas and Michigan over an eight-year period in the 1970s.
After surviving an attack from the Sunday Morning Slasher, two Houston women helped police capture one of the most prolific serial killers in American history.
We might never know the actual death toll. After his arrest, Watts claimed he killed 40 women, but he also implied to police that there were more than 80 victims in total. Law enforcement since has said that Watts is a suspect in 90 unsolved killings. On May 23, 1982, Melinda Aguilar, 18, and Lori Lister, 21, were in their Houston apartment when Watts broke in and attacked them. He got to Lister first, right outside the apartment as she was returning home from work.
"I remembered an out-of-body experience, like floating like a leaf down into a pool, but not much more," Lister told the Houston Chronicle in 2002."Mostly, I felt an utter lack of control. That's what makes you feel scared after it's over."
