Serial killers are the dark stars of modern culture, but is it nature or nurture that creates a serial killer? Born To Kill takes an in-depth look at the cases of some of the most notorious murderers that have shocked the world.

Tall, handsome, intelligent and quiet, aspiring poet and taxidermist Antone Charles "Tony" Costa - a relative newbie in Provincetown, Massachusetts - quickly caught police notice when young women began to disappear during the hippie counterculture era of 1968-1969. Strange coincidences converging around a remote cemetery in nearby Truro would tie to Tony's strange loner personality - hanging out only with teenagers, marrying a 14-year-old, and raising his own marijuana garden. Though claiming drug use made him insane, his trial determined he knew right from wrong when he killed and took needless time to dismember his victims' "parts".
