"You're probably (unfortunately) at least vaguely familiar with some pretty infamous serial killers in the U.S., like Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer. However, you may never have heard of Stephen Morin, even though his suspected crimes rival both Bundy's and Dahmer's in number. And although none of these pieces of sh*t deserve to be immortalized, what makes Fear Not unique is that it tells Morin's story through the lens of a survivor's lived experience."
"Margy Palm was the last woman Morin ever kidnapped. He abducted her outside of a Kmart in San Antonio, Texas, in December of 1981, holding her hostage for eight hours. What started as a deadly captive situation shifted unexpectedly when, largely due to Palm's courage and insistence that Morin could change, the pair formed an unlikely bond. Morin set Palm free, and he was arrested the next day on suspicion of murdering more than 30 people - mostly women."
"Over the next few years, Morin and Palm's bond became a friendship. She visited him in prison. He sent her Christmas cards in the mail. After being convicted, Morin allegedly found Christianity, a feat Palm believes she helped influence. It's worth noting here that some of Morin's survivors, who experienced torture and assault at his hands, don't believe he ever truly changed before being executed in 1985 at the age of 34."
Paramount+ will produce Fear Not, a limited true-crime series starring and executive-produced by Anne Hathaway. The series centers on suspected serial killer Stephen Morin and presents his crimes through the lived experience of survivor Margy Palm. Margy Palm was abducted outside a Kmart in San Antonio in December 1981 and held for eight hours before Morin released her; he was arrested the following day on suspicion of more than 30 murders. The pair later developed an unexpected friendship with visits and correspondence. Some survivors dispute any genuine change in Morin prior to his 1985 execution.
