  • Complete Monster: Adam Grafton is a sadistic killer and rapist with over forty victims to his name over at least 25 years. Starting as a teenager, Grafton would claim his victims—some of whom, including TV host Alicia Harding's younger sister Vanessa, were in their mid-teens at most—in clumps and paralyze them from the chest down by stabbing them in a certain area, rape them repeatedly, and viciously stab them to death to finish them off, but not before stabbing them in their lung, collapsing it and preventing the victim from screaming for help. In the present day, Grafton is obsessed with mentally toying with Alicia about his role in her sister's death by stalking her and sending her bloody pieces of old evidence from the case. When Alicia insults him on live TV, Grafton flies into a rage and brutally murders EADA Sonya Paxton, including before trying to hunt down and murder Alicia, which leads to his arrest. At the end of the episode, even on Death Row, Grafton coldly and smugly, if not gleefully, tells Detective Benson about all the women he's killed without so much as a hint of remorse.
