This grim discovery would unravel a decades-long mystery involving four victims and a serial killer known as “The Chameleon,” who lived under multiple aliases to evade capture. Through breakthroughs in DNA technology and the determination of internet sleuths, police finally connected the dots, revealing a chilling tale of deception, murder, and lost identities.
