hungry for prey.

Three dead bodies thus far.

Are they connected in some way,

or is he an
equal-opportunity executioner

- Given the sophistication
of these crimes--

the elaborate production,
posing--the chance that

these three victims are
the only ones is slim to none.

There are no hits.

They met someone

- No, just the last three.

That's unusual.

- And the dump sites are moving
closer and closer to Manhattan.

The first victim was dumped
87 miles away,

the next was 73,
and the one after that was 55.

- At first, serial killers
are hyper-vigilant.

They don't want
to implicate themselves.

And with each kill,
they become more confident

and less vigilant,

and they begin to drop bodies
closer to home.

say that?

- People always told me
Robert wasn't normal,

but I was in love.

To me, he was just eccentric.

He wasn't trapped by
people's expectations of him.

- I see.

- That's what
made him interesting.

- Right.

Why did you divorce him?

- I started to see
what everyone had been saying.

- That he was odd?

- More like sick and twisted.

How cinematic the photos were.

a house in Greenwich,

a summer place
in South Hampton.

- Do you think he prefers one
over the other?

but you guys are the FBI.

Can't you just break in

His ApplePie account is open.

spotting him?

- He didn't.
Linked with his cellphone.

Shygurl1990.

"I'm so excited to finally
meet you face to face."

He replied,
"Me, too, see you soon."

That was 40 minutes ago.

- He's meeting up
with his next victim.

- All right, so it looks like
Burke sent the DM

from his Midtown office
and then turned off his cell,

so we can't track it.

We're still trying
to ID shygurl1990,

but so far no luck.

I'm hoping that maybe
she got cold feet

and never showed up
for the date.

listen up, everybody.

There's a good chance
that Burke has drugged

his latest victim

to a secondary location,
where he has the privacy

to begin his killing ritual.

on all the family's

residential properties.

Greenwich, and South Hampton.

We've also got agents stationed

outside Burke's apartment

- What is it?

Robert Burke's door.

- DNA.

- DNA from a letter
left with a doorman.

There's no chain of custody.

We can't legally prove the DNA
actually belongs to Burke.

- This monster just grabbed
another girl,

and you and I are standing here
discussing chain of custody?

his mouth,

he is a person of interest.

Look.

He thinks that he's
a photographer.

You know, he poses
some of his victims

the lighting is just right.

♪

He's gotta have
some sort of studio.

You know, a personal space
where it's private

and he feels comfortable enough
to be this creative.

- Or where he plays
with the objects he loves.

- Check his credit card.

See if he purchased
any photo equipment.

Cameras, lenses.

- Oh, okay, it looks like
he picked up something

called negative scanners.

That sounds
like photo equipment.

Seems like he purchased two
in 2016 for $25,000 apiece,

and they were delivered
to a 258 Mott Street address.

It's a commercial building.

I mean, I can track the owner
but it will take some time.

- Well, we don't have time.
Go.

on us right now,
