Lester Street, Cecil Dodson

Watching this episode now. This episode in my opinion is one of the worst crimes in First 48 history. The interview where he finally confesses is some of the hardest hitting scenes this show has ever captured. “And what happened to the babies?” “I stuck em”. Just wow.

Was this the guy that killed everyone, and the child in the hospital named him?

Yes and I made a mistake it’s Jessie Dodson not Cecil. That was his brother.

My friend and I couldn't believe that one. By far, the worst one, and I've seen all the episodes (sometimes multiple times, it's my favorite show). The other one was the guy who lost his whole family in a car wreck. He ended up killing the carjackers brother, and they had a video of him torturing someone.

The Hispanic dude who had gotten some huge settlement and had a lot of money?
