Born Evil: The Serial Killer and the Savior, a true-crime miniseries from executive producer Michael Bay, premiered on September 2 on Investigation Discovery (ID) and is now streaming on MAX. The series, which covers two murders in Montgomery County, MD, drew over 6.4 million viewers in its first week, according to TheWrap.
The show delves into the life of serial killer Hadden Clark, exploring his family dynamics and his disturbing relationship with a prison cellmate whom he believed to be Jesus.
In May 1986, Clark murdered six-year-old Michele Dorr in Silver Spring. He lured her into an upstairs room in his brother’s home, killed her, and later buried her in a park 12 miles away. The case remained unsolved for years, with Dorr’s father initially suspected of the crime.
In October 1992, Clark killed 23-year-old Laura Houghteling in Bethesda after her mother accused him of theft while he worked as a gardener. He entered the home, killed Laura, and tried to cover up the crime by disguising himself to make it appear as though she had left the house. Evidence, including a fingerprint on a pillowcase, linked Clark to her murder. After confessing, Clark led police to Laura’s body eight months later. His confession also led to a renewed investigation into Michele Dorr’s disappearance, ultimately revealing the location of her body and bringing both cases to a close.
