This week’s episode looks at the murder of 90-year-old farmer Earl Olander, found murdered inside his rural Minnesota farmhouse in April 2015, beaten to death with his hands and feet bound by tape.

ABC News correspondent John Quiñones reports.
‘Capturing a Killer Nurse’ (Netflix)
This documentary is about Charlie Cullen, a registered nurse who killed hundreds of people in medical facilities in the Northeast, becoming one of history’s most prolific serial killers.
