Oxygen offers this synopsis: “Between 2001 and 2010, separated by thousands of miles, the victims shared one connection: they were all associated with Hooters. The Hooters Murders: Deadly Shift is a two-hour documentary that unravels these tragic murders, exposing how young women who were linked to the iconic restaurant chain were preyed upon. What once was viewed as a golden ticket of opportunity led to dangerous dynamics, the abuse and demise of multiple women in the workplace.
From Florida to Nevada, the documentary uncovers the shocking and tragic experiences of the famed restaurant’s ‘Hooters Girls’ through interviews with current and past Hooters employees, victims’ family members, journalists, and law enforcement agents about the crimes that cost multiple women their lives. The Hooters Murders: Deadly Shift categorizes how the fondness turned obsession from customers infatuated with ‘Hooters Girls’ turned into murder.”
