American Occult Blood Lust (2010– ) Online

Heard the one about the vampire who had security clearance by the Pentagon? This is a documentary about a lesser known sicko, John Crutchley. It begins with the escape of his final victim, a young woman who managed to crawl through a window after he had drained around half of her blood, which he is said to have drunk.

As well as a serial rapist, Crutchley was almost certainly a serial killer, and we are told with today's forensics the police may well have been able to pin several murders on him. As things stood, he was given a 25 year to life sentence but released after 10 years, only to be immediately re-arrested for a parole violation. Apparently shortly before his release, inmates threw a jailhouse party for him during which he smoked something he shouldn't have. Under Florida's three strikes law he received a life sentence for this petty offence, but few will argue that Draconian sanction was misplaced on this occasion.

He died in prison shortly after, apparently from a bizarre accident. Sadly, there is not much substance to this documentary, although clearly the police put an extraordinary amount of work into building the case against Crutchley, at the end of the day this was both unsuccessful and unnecessary.
