The limited true crime docuseries, The Hunt for the Chameleon Killer, is set to premiere Thursday, October 10 at 10 pm ET on SundanceTV and will also be available as a full-series binge on AMC+ and Sundance Now the same day. Airing weekly on SundanceTV, the three-part series chronicles the global hunt for the identity thief and murderer dubbed ‘The Chameleon Killer.’
After a headless, handless body is discovered in a Florida canal in 1990, law enforcement begins a search for the killer which takes them all the way to London before the trail goes cold. What ensues is a string of stolen identities, wrongful accusations, and a twelve-year cat-and-mouse chase across multiple countries as authorities close in on the most wanted woman in the world.
Exploring all the crimes of Elaine Parent, The Hunt for the Chameleon Killer uncovers every potential victim and determines whether law enforcement is correct in their belief that she was a serial killer. It shows how Parent claimed an interest in numerology, and that she could predict the future with the help of key numbers, to get her victims to divulge their personal details, which she then used to steal their identities. Ultimately, The Hunt for the Chameleon Killer answers the key questions at the very heart of the story: Who was Elaine Parent? And what drove her to commit these crimes?
The Hunt for the Chameleon Killer is a Sundance Now Original Series, produced by Impossible Factual Limited, and executive produced by Steve Maher and Jonathan Drake, with Adam Luria serving as director and producer. Executive producers for CBS AMC Networks UK Channels Partnership are Jess Rampling and Sam Rowden.
