All this said, The Confession Killer will investigate the most prolific serial killer in history by investigating whether or not he was really a serial killer, if he lied about everything, and if he did, why? And if he didn’t kill those people, who did?
The limited series will dig up old interviews and facts, details from Henry’s life, and raise questions from grieving families on whether or not he really murdered their loved ones.
But don’t expect to hear from Henry in the documentary. He died in jail back in 2001 from heart failure. He was 64 years old at the time.
When does The Confession Killer premiere?
The Confession Killer will air its episodes beginning on Friday, Dec. 6 on Netflix. And even though there’s already been a plethora of books and films on the case including Confessions of a Serial Killer, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer Part II, and Drifter: Henry Lee Lucas, as well as documentary films The Serial Killers and Henry Lee Lucas: The Confession Killer, this new Netflix series will have exclusive content, so you won’t want to miss it!
