In 1974, Mark Burns called his girlfriend Dianne to tell her that he was in prison. He had been arrested on assault and r*pe charges. He told Dianne that he didn’t do it and was being framed. Mike Douglas Burns was then convicted of 1st degree and sentenced to death in a gas chamber. However, he would then be released after serving 16 years. He would move in with his wife Diane and his strange behavior began. While out all night long, he began to abuse his wife. She escaped and divorced him in 1990.

After the escape and divorce, a series of attacks would occur in the Wyoming/Utah area, starting in 1991. For the next 20 years, this perpetrator was unknown. After a joint task force to uncover The Clearfield R*pist, DNA would lead them to a family member. Then on September 25th 2019, Mark Burns was arrested at his home. He was 69 years old. He was then connected to 11 attacks and later claimed there were 3 more prior. However, he then confessed to 3 murders. He was also a serial killer who had never been caught.

Diane would learn that her ex-husband was a serial killer from a YouTube video that popped up on her recommendations.
