The discovery of a series of bodies in sugar cane fields sends Micki to Durban. With her caseload increasing, her exhaustion and panic attacks increase too. This raises concerns amongst the team for both Micki and her methods.

Air Date: February 21, 2024

Erica questions Micki’s method of expressing the emotional signature of the attacks. Micki writes like she’s the killer.

Increasing caseload leads to sleep deprivation, Micki is bone-deep exhausted and irritable. She starts having panic attack too. Erica and Pieter are really worried about her.

Micki has concluded that Phoenix Strangler is an organized serial killer - the selecting, planning and acting. This isn’t opportunistic. He knows the (sugar cane) farmers’ practices, relying on the fires to cover his tracks.

His MO - incapacitates, ties up, rapes and kills. Control, submission, domination - no intimacy. He fetishizes bondage, angry at women. Fearful of intimacy without power.

A sister of an old victim has helped the team with a sketch of the perp, the biggest lead so far.
