Devoured Season 1 Episode 4 Recap
This Episode covers the gory case of the fast-food killer. Some employees wound up dead at a Captain D’s in Donaldson, a McDonald’s in Hermitage, and a Baskin Robbins in Clarkson. In Nashville, Tennessee, people were shocked back in 1995. Paul Dennis Reid started to work at a Shoney’s. Back then, there was a murder and crime wave in Tennessee.
Shoney’s & Captain D’s
In a Shoney’s, Paul Reid entered through the main gate, subdued an employee and brutally murdered them with a knife, then simply left. A few months later, Paul Reid entered a Captain D’s and on gunpoint, robbed the cashier, and told the manager and the cashier to go into the back of the restaurant, put them in the freezer, and shot them in cold blood. Later, he drove off.
The cops and the community are shocked about these deaths because they were happening to young people. There were no leads, and there were no people speaking. For one part, Paul was a model employee until he went berserk over an argument at his local Shoney’s restaurant, he was let go. And he was bleeding cash. So, he begins stealing.
The McDonald’s
One day, Paul Reid walked up to a McDonald’s that was about to close. He pulls out a gun and tells four employees that were leaving their shift to go back inside. He orders them to open the safe and give them the money. After that, Reid orders them to lay on the floor and shoots them in cold blood. When he’s about to execute the last man, Reid runs out of bullets, struggles with the employee, and Reid begins stabbing the employee. After he’s done, the employee manages to call 9-1-1, and he’s rescued.
The police gather a description of the suspect, and they open a telephone hotline for tips. But everything was cold. When an ID belonging to one of Reid’s victims from Captain D’s murders shows up on the side of the road with blood and some partial fingerprints on them, some hope arises, but these prints weren’t enough to run them through AFIS.
The Baskin Robbins Murder
For this hit, Reid enters an ice cream store, subdues the two female employees, has them empty the cashier, and then proceeds to kidnap them. He drives them to a park, walks them towards a lake, kills one of them, throws one of them in a lake, and kills the other one in the woods. When the police start finding out, they get a lead on the murderer. He was driving a red sports car.
The Red Car Becomes The Red Herring
One night, the manager where Reid used to work gets a knock on his door, it’s him, and he wants his job back. When the manager says to come to talk to him tomorrow, Reid pulls out a gun and a knife. The manager manages to get rid of Reid and gets back into the house. He calls the cops, and they come in. But Reid calls on the phone, and the cops set up a trap and arrest him.
