Here are some more cases that could fit:

Dean Corll and his accomplices in serial killing in the 1960s and 1970s in Houston, Texas.
The murder of Timothy O'Bryan in Pasadena, Texas in 1974 by his own father, Ronald Clark O'Bryan.
The "Mother Duncan" case in Los Angeles in the late 1950s (boy, that one was bizarre).
The Barbara Graham case in Los Angeles in the early 1950s.
The Johnny Stompanato murder in Los Angeles in 1958 (when Lana Turner's daughter, Cheryl Crane, killed him to protect her mother).
The Ruth Snyder/Judd Gray murder case in 1927 in New York.
The Lowell Andrews case in Kansas in 1962 (it was mentioned in Capote's novel In Cold Blood).
In Canada, the Shell Lake murders in Shell Lake, Saskatchewan in 1967 (where nine members of a farm family were killed).
The Marion Parker kidnapping/murder in Los Angeles in 1927 (that one is horrific).
The Hi-Fi murders in Ogden, Utah in 1974.
The Fred Oesterreich murder in Los Angeles in 1922.
In Britain, the Moors Murders (that one might be too horrifying).

My word! I just read the Marion Parker kidnapping and murder....I am sickened by the ctiminal guilty of taking her parents through such hell!

Yes, that would be an excellent story to be covered. This show could do it justice.

They should do one of Leslie Perez and Carolyn Lima, where they murdered and torched a man after a 3-way sexual encounter that went bad. This happened in Houston back in the '60s. They were both sentenced to death, but it was later overturned. I'm not sure what became of Carolyn, but Leslie Perez went on to have a sex-change operation and became involved in politics.

Do I drink because my dreams don't come true, or don't my dreams come true because I drink?

The Beast of Jersey case is horrifying. I think it would be too much for the program tho.

Gary Gilmore, a murderer in Utah who was executed by firing squad in 1977. Norman Mailer wrote a good book about it called "The Executioner's Song".

Some of the cases were on another I.D. show called "The Eighties: the Deadliest Decade". I don't think the show will go past the 1970's. The Kemper case was featured on "ACTR".
