在發現一封由已被定罪的囚犯艾德沃哈洛德貝爾所寫的自白信之後,當年遭到謀殺的11位青少年女孩的案子再度被翻了出來,而本節目將跟隨調查員的腳步一一重新檢視當年的所有相關線索及證據。在1970年代,德州加爾維斯敦郡內和周圍的地區全都被這11起年輕少女謀殺案的陰影給籠罩。記者萊莎歐森和退休警探佛萊德佩吉,在發現一封出自因為另一起毫不相干的謀殺案已被定罪服刑70年的囚犯:艾德沃哈洛德貝爾所寫的自白信之後,決定重新審視這些案子。在這封令人寒毛直豎的自白書裡,貝爾詳述了一些謀殺案中殘暴的細節,並以名字稱呼受害人。但在調查人員和貝爾的獨家面對面訪談中,他拒絕承認這封自白信為他所書,由此可見,想證明他和這一系列將近45年的陳年命案有關聯將絕對不是一件容易的事。
The Eleven follows investigators as they reexamine the murders of eleven teenage girls after discovering a confession letter from current inmate and convicted murderer Edward Harold Bell. Throughout the 1970s, the cities in and around Galveston County, Texas were haunted by the brutal murders of eleven teenage girls. Journalist Lise Olsen and retired police detective Fred Paige are revisiting these cases after discovering a confession letter from inmate Edward Harold Bell, who is currently serving a 70-year sentence for an unrelated murder. In his chilling confession, Bell describes some of the girls’ deaths in gruesome detail and refers to many of the victims by name. Yet in the investigators’ exclusive face-to-face interviews with Bell, he denies the written confession, proving that linking him to the 45-year-old murders will be a formidable challenge.
