Among all the upcoming true crime documentaries on Discovery+, one particularly stands out. 'The Chameleon Killer' is a documentary on serial killer Terry Rasmussen. Over a murderous career spanning decades, Rasmussen had killed at least six people on a spree that stretched across the United States.

He was nicknamed "The Chameleon Killer" because he made the use of several aliases, some including Robert "Bob" Evans, Curtis Mayo Kimball, Gordon Jensen, Larry Vanner and Gerry Mockerman. In the upcoming documentary, viewers will get a glimpse into how DNA profiling was used to connect him to the crime and how the subsequent investigation brought him to justice.

'The Chameleon Killer' also features exclusive interviews with his children and ex-wife offering an insight into who the killer was.
