I Am Sure That the Series has Been Cut
There is a serial killer in the small Southern town of Delano. His victims are homeless teenage boys and transients. And he will kill for 40 years, almost undetected.Almost. Three police chiefs, suspect that there is something going on. Goodhearted Will Henry Lee is Delano's first chief, as the killings begin. But outside forces will tragically cut short his investigations as he is on the verge of bringing the killer to justice. Corrupt, racist chief Sonny Butts, believes that solving the murders will save his career. And as the Civil Rights era comes along, Delano's first Black police chief, Tyler Watts is sorting through old files, when he dicovers the first murders - and realises that they are still happening almost 40 years later.A solid production which admittidly shows its age a wee bit.But I am sure that it has been cut. I could have sworn that there is a scene, where Billy Lee's wife, having been warned that the Klan are coming for her, goes to a gunshop to purchase a gun. When the salesman asks her what she wants it for, she replies that it is to shoot birds - specifically "White-sheeted yellow-bellies"Was that scene in there?
