Tom Fitzpatrick: Steadfast Frontiersman

As the fur trade era is ending, lifelong frontiersman Tom Fitzpatrick is forced to adapt. He breaks away from the mountains to join his friend and legendary mountain man Jedediah Smith, who is now trading goods along the Santa Fe Trail. After weeks on the trail, their wagon train runs dangerously low on water, and Smith disappears after setting out to find a new water source. Though a desperate search turns up no sign of Smith, Fitzpatrick stumbles upon an orphaned Arapaho boy whom he takes under his wing and names "Friday." When the caravan finally makes it to Santa Fe, Fitzpatrick learns that Smith has been killed by Comanche warriors, ending one of the most remarkable lives of the frontier age.

 

Afterward, Fitzpatrick informally adopts Friday, sending him to receive a formal education in St. Louis, and eventually locates and reunites him with his Arapaho family. Years later, while Fitzpatrick is guiding settlers along the remote trails of the West, he again encounters his adopted son.

Unknown Serial Killers of America

Each year the FBI estimates between 25 to 50 active serial killers hunt their prey in America, taking the lives of hundreds of innocent people annually. Often these killings keep a city on edge, a heavy fear permeating the night air before these predators are taken off our streets. Just ask those who lived through the terror of The Night Stalker, Son of Sam or The Grim Sleeper. And years later the public still can't seem to get enough of their stories which continue to be retold in documentaries and limited series. Yet for every Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy who became part of the zeitgeist and remains with us like a dark specter, there are hundreds of other unknown serial killers whose horrific actions were just as terrifying, if not worse. This new series will profile these unknown serial killers who operated in silence. Their murders haunted law enforcement, who were unable to connect all their sick dots, as more innocent lives were lost until the killers were eventually caught.
