What is Wicked Game: Devil in the Desert about?
Wicked Game: Devil in the Desert is produced by Katie Muldowney and Jake Lefferman and executive produced by Eamon McNiff for ABC News Studios. The official synopsis of the documentary series reads,
"Hunting the mastermind of a violent abduction, authorities unravel a twisted tale of obsession during the early days of legalized pot."
The series provides an in-depth look at the harrowing 2012 case that led to a years-long investigation. A woman was found zip-tied and abandoned in the Mojave Desert by a sheriff's deputy. She and her roommate were abducted from their home by a bunch of armed robbers looking for cash.
The victims were subjected to horrific torture, from which one of them died. The deceased male victim endured beatings, burnings, and even genital mutilation, and ultimately succumbed to his injuries. The women survived and gave the investigators key information that ultimately led to the suspect's arrest.
Unfortunately, the case didn't end here. The convict managed to escape from prison while recording himself during the entire jailbreak. The authorities later recovered the footage, which revealed the intricate details of his escape and the calculated planning and effort behind it.
Through Wicked Game: Devil in the Desert, people will see the never-seen-before footage, shreds of evidence, recorded police interviews of the victim and the suspects, body cam footage, dash cam footage, and first-hand accounts from key figures.
