In Lifetime’s The Regina Smith Story, single mother Regina is determined to provide a safer world for her daughter and joins the Dallas Police Department. As a rookie, Regina and her partner Eddie (Blair Penner) stumble upon the first victim of what would be many murders of female prostitutes by the notorious serial killer, Charles Albright (Ted Cole) whom the media dubbed “The Eyeball Killer,” because he surgically removed the eyes of his victims.
