It Takes a Killer season 1 episode 15, titled "The Vampire Teens," delves into the case of two teenagers who were looking for a thrill and ended up committing a heinous murder.

The episode begins with the murder of Lisa Berry, a 44-year-old mother of two. She had been brutally stabbed to death in her own home, and the police had no leads to go on. However, they soon discovered that Lisa's two teenage sons, Aaron and Trevor, had been acting strangely ever since their mother's murder.

Aaron and Trevor were both part of a strange cult that called themselves the "vampires." They believed they were actual vampires and that they needed to drink human blood in order to survive. The police soon discovered that the boys had invited their friend, Stephanie Pistey, over to their house on the night of the murder. Stephanie was also part of the vampire cult, and she helped the boys plan and execute the murder of Lisa Berry.

Stephanie revealed that she and the boys had planned to kill Lisa Berry in order to drink her blood.

The police were shocked by the sheer brutality of the crime and the twisted thinking behind it. They soon arrested Aaron and Trevor, along with several other members of the vampire cult. The boys were ultimately tried and convicted for their role in the murder of their mother.

The episode also explores the tragic backstory of the boys and their involvement with the vampire cult. It's revealed that Aaron and Trevor had been traumatized by their father's suicide and had turned to the vampire cult in order to cope with their pain and loneliness. The cult leader, Rod Ferrell, had taken advantage of the boys and had convinced them that they were actually vampires.

Overall, "The Vampire Teens" is a haunting and disturbing episode that explores the dark world of cults and the dangerous behavior that can result from them. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of blind faith and the need to seek help when struggling with mental illness or trauma.
