- The son of a US Air Force Colonel, David Dowler led a relatively normal life in Albuquerque, New Mexico, except for his fanciful and fictional tales of being a former spy and contract killer. Most people laughed off his tall tales as the ramblings of a friendly eccentric. However Dowler concocted a more deadly scheme - he would be a psychic who could predict other people's deaths. Between 1983 and 1987, several of Dowler's friends and co-workers would be found dead. They would all be discovered by loved ones that received a phone call from Dowler, who would claim to have psychic abilities and 'sensed' that something was wrong. Though the early deaths were ruled 'accidental', police started getting suspicious of Dowler as the body count grew higher.
