## Synopsis

Follow the hunt and ultimate capture of serial killer Keith Hunter Jesperson. An aspiring cop turned long-haul truck driver after a failed marriage, Jesperson strangled his first victim following an argument and was back on the road again the very next day, killing at least eight women over a five-year span as he crisscrossed the country. Upset after a woman falsely confesses that she and her boyfriend are responsible for one of his murders, Jesperson begins to taunt the authorities by sending a series of disturbing letters to newspaper editors, even scribbling confessions on the walls of highway rest stops admitting that he loved killing his victims. By signing his morbid notes with a happy face, he earned himself the notorious nickname, "Happy Face Killer" and forever left his mark of fear.

## Goofs

At the end when, Melinda is getting in her car and saying her goodbyes to the Sheriff, the camera jumps between two angles and the window on her car keeps changing between being all the way up and almost all the way down.

The crime scene photos Agent Gand looks at before she is handed the cup of coffee have the victim's head pointing in two different directions.

When writing the confession note on the bathroom wall, he draws the happy face on the wall. During the wide view of the note, the happy face is different.

## Antisocial Personality Disorder

*The Happy Face Killer,* Keith Hunter Jesperson suffers from *Antisocial Personality Disorder* (AKA:*Psychopathy*, or *Sociopathy*.) It is a common plot device in Lifetime movies.

**Antisocial Personality Disorder** (ASPD or APD\*) is one of several debilitating personality disorders, that can be life altering for those afflicted. People who suffer from APD do not feel the way others do. They have little, to no regard for the rights or feelings of others. They do not feel empathy, or remorse when their behavior is destructive. This lack of remorse can have serious consequences to both the sufferer, and those in his/her path. They have little regard for the law, and this can also lead to repeated incarcerations. Those afflicted are much more likely to be male, and symptoms often emerge as early as eight years old. Women with the disorder often have substance abuse as a comorbidity, and are more likely to die from overdose, than their male counterparts. Women tend to internalize problems, men tend to externalize, both can cause extreme harm. There is disagreement among professionals as to the efficacy of treatment for this disease. Sufferers will often be forced by the courts to receive help, this lessens the efficaciousness of the treatment received. Those suffering with APD will also learn to mimic normal human behavior, making it difficult for professionals to determine if the treatment is working.
