The first episode of Unknown Serial Killers of America focuses on the crimes of Carl Eugene Watts, known as the "Sunday Morning Slasher." Watts reportedly murdered many women in the US states of Michigan and Texas during the 1970s and 1980s. He got his name because he often targeted his victims on Sunday mornings.

According to Express News, Watts' attacks caused fear among women, as their bodies were often found at unexpected times. Various reports about Watts' mental state suggest that he had a disturbed childhood and suffered from antisocial personality disorder. He began showing violent tendencies at a young age.

Despite being encountered by the police several times, he was not caught for a long time. Reportedly, Watts' killing style did not involve any kind of s*xual violence, which made the investigations more difficult at the time.

Watts was finally arrested in 1982 after a woman survived one of his attacks. He confessed to several murders, but in a controversial plea deal, he avoided murder charges and was sentenced to 60 years in prison. However, he later became eligible for early release, which sparked public outrage.

As per the L.A. Times, Watts was subsequently convicted of murdering a woman in 1979 and given a life sentence. He reportedly died due to prostate cancer in 2007.
