ENSPIRE Contributor: Seanna Nona
Premiering on June 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, “Interview With a Killer” is coming back and hitting harder than ever. David Scott, a respected investigative reporter and journalist, sits down face-to-face with convicted murderers around the country, engaging with and confronting them. Scott and Ethan Nelson, head of Court TV, serve as executive producers.
A special 2-hour season premiere was aired on Sunday, April 13. In the episode “Psycho Killer,” Scott interviews a man who calls himself the oldest serial killer in America, Gary Michael Hilton. In his first-ever televised interview, the so-called “National Forest Serial Killer” confesses for the first time to the murder of a Florida woman and reveals new information about three other homicides. Throughout the harrowing episode, Scott gets Hilton to open up about his killing spree, including how he chose his victims as he preyed on hikers in North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
“There is no experience in True Crime television like coming face to face with convicted killers. And there is no greater challenge for an interviewer than to peel open a window into the mindset and motivations behind their murders. This show serves up justice for the court of public opinion using the unique power of the good old-fashioned hardball interview.” – David Scott
Other installments in season two of “Interview With a Killer” include:
