The Serial Killer Connection

2026Series
Watch on other platforms

A survivor and a former wife compare what they know

The Serial Killer Connection centres on an unusual partnership between Kara Robinson Chamberlain, who escaped Richard Evonitz, and his former wife Bonnie Lou Gower. The three-part documentary follows them as they compare experiences and investigate whether other crimes might be connected to him. Their different relationships with the same man become the starting point for a shared enquiry.

Till Death Do Us Part brings the women together for the first time and introduces both the escape and the marriage. The episode establishes how an intimate domestic account and a survivor's knowledge can reveal different parts of a concealed life. Their investigation is presented as a search for possible connections, rather than proof that every suspected case belongs to one offender.

Following a military itinerary and unanswered cases

Behind Closed Doors follows Evonitz's military postings, with enquiries concerning Maine, San Diego and Virginia. Those geographical links give the women a route for their investigation, while encounters with potential evidence and accounts raise questions about the extent of his crimes.

The Final Secret brings survivors and investigators into the concluding stage and returns to known victims. Producer Lorna Thomas is credited in the programme listing. The series keeps its focus on the women's search for answers and the difference between a documented crime, a possible link and a question still awaiting resolution.
