I don't know if anyone has ever loved exposing themselves to strangers as much as Randy Woodfield. The serial flasher, rapist, and I-5 Killer had an unusual childhood for a sexual predator - it was wonderful. He grew up in a loving, two-parent home, in a charming Oregon coast town, where he got good grades, was popular, and so good at football he was drafted into the NFL. So what happened?

What happens to your body when it is donated to science? Does it actually end up in front of some doctor or medical student? Not necessarily.

This is a wild story of a preposterous amount of corruption, conspiracy, and cold-blooded killing.
