Image and biography of Morgan Dexter
The serial killer was born in a disadvantaged family. His mother, Laura Moser - a drug addict, who often became a secret informant for police officer Harry Morgan. Subsequently, romantic relations have developed between them, despite the fact that the guardian of the law was married.In one of the operations, during which a woman needed to collect information about Santos Jimenez, a local drug trap, everything went not according to plan. As a result, Santos kidnapped a woman and dismembered her. The scene of the cruel murder occurred in the eyes of a three-year dexter. Together with a mutilated corpse, the boy spent 3 days while he did not find Harry with his brother.
A man who considered himself guilty to the death of his mistress and in this terrible story, could not leave the Syrota and soon adopted him, giving his surname. And at least the boy practically forgot about what happened, his psyche was broken.
The foster father began to notice that serious changes occur with the morgana. Harry found out that the son kills and bursts animals. At the very beginning, the policeman tried to form a step, but then I realized that it was useless.
Then the man went to another way and developed a set of rules for the young killer who need to be strictly followed. This Code sounded such requirements, how to kill only guilty, not to report anyone about these cases and get rid of bodies and evidence.
Dexter called such a farewell from the stepfather of the Harry Code and adhered to the rules in the future, already adult. Just instead of animals, people - maniacs and criminals managed to leave punishment.
The first sacrifice of the twenty-year-old young man demonstrated the receptionist. When Harry saw a dismembered body in his garage, he did not make such a shock. He committed suicide, realizing that she raised a terrible monster.
