Henry Lee Lucas

Henry Lee Lucas was an American convicted murderer who became infamous as 'The Confession Killer' after claiming hundreds of murders from Texas custody in the 1980s — most of which were later discredited.

Henry Lee Lucas confessed to around 600 murders between 1983 and 1985, but investigators later determined most were fabrications. The case exposed dangerous interrogation practices that allowed a convicted killer to manipulate law enforcement across multiple states.
