Investigation Discovery Slates Michael Bay’s First Docuseries

Investigation Discovery (ID) has slated Born Evil: The Serial Killer and the Savior, the first docuseries from executive producer Michael Bay (Transformers, Bad Boys), to debut across three nights beginning September 2.

The five-part series examines the actions of Hadden Clark, a lesser-known serial killer, and delves into his traumatic childhood, violent family history and the confessions he made to his cellmate in prison that sent investigators on a search to solve the cold cases allegedly linked to him. It features exclusive access to Hadden himself through private, recorded conversations initiated and conducted by Bay.

Interviews with other key individuals are also layered throughout, with Hadden’s brother Geoff Clark going on the record, as well as Hadden’s former cellmate Jack Truitt, the recipient of his confessions and whom he believed to be Jesus and his personal savior. Interviews with law enforcement and the loved ones of victims are also included.

Born Evil: The Serial Killer and the Savior is produced by Range Studios with Bay Films and Ladder Truck 33 for Investigation Discovery.

“Throughout my career, I’ve always focused on meeting real people—from scientists of all kinds to alligator wranglers, law enforcement agents to bank robbers, and even Kings and Queens—gaining true insights for my films,” Bay said. “Born Evil is my first venture into the documentary world, and it revolves around a serial-killing family you have never heard of. The focus of this five-hour series is on the youngest son, Hadden Clark, whom I spent countless hours personally speaking to in prison so that I could get into the mind and psychology of a person who the FBI refers to as ‘a person of interest’ in over 20 states. Born Evil could potentially open the door to solving many cold-case murders.”

“Michael Bay is one of the best storytellers of our generation, and he brings unprecedented access to one of the most terrifying serial killer stories in history,” said Jason Sarlanis, president of ID. “With Born Evil, we have ID’s next blockbuster series, and we deliver on our promise to provide viewers with premium true-crime content from the best filmmakers in the business.”
