    6. Lisbon’s Ripper

    In the early‑1990s Lisbon’s nightlife is shaken when the bodies of two young women are discovered in a derelict warehouse on the city’s outskirts. The victims show identical wounds and a chilling pattern that points to a serial offender the media dubs “the Lisbon Ripper.” The episode follows a small team of detectives from the Polícia Judiciária as they piece together forensic evidence, interview witnesses, and battle internal politics to track down a seemingly ordinary construction worker who leads a double life. Interwoven with archival news footage, courtroom excerpts, and interviews with the victims’ families, the dramatization shows how a methodical police investigation finally cracks the case, bringing the murderer to trial and exposing the broader social anxieties of a city in transition.

Created by ABC News executive Roone Arledge, the show was designed similarly to CBS's 60 Minutes but focuses more on human interest stories than international and political subjects. The program's name derives from the "20/20" measurement of visual acuity. The hour-long program has been a staple on Friday evenings for much of the time since it moved to that timeslot from Thursdays in September 1987, though special editions of the program occasionally air on other nights.
