"Surviving the Handsome Devil," the penultimate episode of the true crime docuseries People Magazine Investigates: Surviving A Serial Killer, tells the shocking true story of Chicago serial killer Bruce Lindahl and the women who survived encounters with the dangerous criminal. 

"In the suburbs of Chicago, a handsome man with searing blue eyes turns out to be a bloodthirsty monster hiding in plain sight and attacking young women at will. However, it takes decades for the survivors to discover that Bruce Lindahl is a serial killer," reads the official episode synopsis. "Now, Sherry Hopson and Annette Lazar come forward to discuss coming face-to-face with the cold-blooded killer."

Per People Magazine, Lindahl, the killer at the center of the episode, is known to have killed at least four people, though the true number could be much higher. The criminal, who died in 1981 after murdering an 18-year-old man, also committed multiple sexual assaults.
