Named for the infamous TV killer, the Dexter Room gathers the vampires, body collectors and the worst Phil has interviewed around a plastic-wrapped kill-table you'll recognize the moment you walk in.
Dean Corll, the Tool Box Killers, the Hillside Stranglers, David Parker Ray — each panel traces how motive, method and opportunity collide. It is one of four themed rooms, and the one guests remember most vividly.

The Tool Box Killers' Prison TVs
Television sets owned by the Tool Box Killers during their incarceration — everyday objects that carry an extraordinary provenance.
Displayed among the room's body-collector cases, it's one of dozens of pieces Phil received directly from the killers and their cases.
