episode 7: Episode 7 -- "Pure Evil"
In 2012, a young man drove his truck into an Anchorage Alaska parking lot and came to a stop next to a small, bright teal colored shack. This shack was a coffee shop, and this young man worked there as a barista. That morning he had a shift, so he hopped out of his truck, went around to the side of the structure and put his keys into the door's lock. When he turned them, he noticed there was no resistance, the door was already unlocked. Confused, he pushed the door open and saw right away the place had clearly been robbed. He called his boss, who in turn called the police, and then they asked to review the shop's security footage from the night before. And when they watched it, they saw they had a much bigger problem than just theft.
