In Greek mythology, Narcissus is a beautiful young man who falls in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. He becomes so obsessed with his reflection that he ignores everything else around him, including food and water.

Narcissus is often regarded as a symbol of vanity, self-absorption, and the dangers of excessive pride. His story has been told and retold for centuries, and it continues to resonate with people today. It’s a warning that self absorption can lead to destruction and death.

There had been 19 homicides in Louisville in 1982. As of June 30th, 1983 there had been 32. Homicides were up by a staggering 70%. The most puzzling of the homicides were the four black females that had all been killed execution style in the last month.

Time was of the essence. A serial killer was on the loose.

June 10, 1982 around 1:30am, a woman had just completed her shift and was waiting for the bus on 4th street in downtown Louisville. A man in a lime green Camaro tried to abduct her at gunpoint. The arriving bus thwarted the attempt and the woman went straight to the police. She later picked the suspect out of a line-up. Unfortunately, the woman identified the wrong man. The real perpetrator was an active serial killer and he was loose in Louisville.

May 26, 1994, a 17 year-old walked calmly out of a 2 story brick home in the South Hampton estates in Union KY. The teen spotted a man taking a stroll about the neighborhood and calmly said, “You don’t know me but my name is Clay Shrout and you’re gonna hear a lot about me today. I’m going to be on CNN.”

July 16, 1996 in the western KY community of Sharpe, Kentucky State Police responded to a call reporting a dead body in a bathtub in the home of a well-known family. This is a bizarre story involving a dirty Chicago cop, a Hells Angels motorcycle gang and a murder for hire scheme.
