ABSOLUTE MADNESS is the true story of Buffalo’s Joseph Christopher.
Known as both the .22 Caliber Killer and the Midtown Slasher, Christopher targeted black males in a killing spree that began in Buffalo in September 1980 and sparked one of the most intense investigations in local history. Ms. Pelonero will share how her research into several Buffalo archives unfolded the Christopher story and revealed haunting facts that still scar Buffalo.
