The Scorpion Serial Killer: Pawel Tuchlin's 8-Year Terror Spree

This episode details the violent criminal trajectory of Pawel Tuchlin, a notorious Polish serial killer known as the Scorpion who terrorized the region of Gdansk between 1975 and 1983. Driven by childhood trauma and deep-seated resentment toward women, Tuchlin utilized a hammer to incapacitate his victims before committing brutal sexual assaults. Despite his status as a husband and father, he successfully evaded a distracted Communist police force for years, ultimately murdering nine women and injuring eleven others. His eventual capture was the result of a specialized task force that linked physical evidence, such as stolen property and vehicle records, to his farmhouse. Following a full confession and a subsequent attempt to recant his testimony, Tuchlin was found guilty and received a death sentence, which was carried out in 1987.
