Investigation Discovery’s Very Scary People, hosted by Donnie Wahlberg, returns to dig into another disturbing true crime case. This week’s episode, “The Sun Gym Sadists,” examines the horrifying saga of the Sun Gym Gang, a group of Miami bodybuilders whose crimes shocked Florida in the mid-1990s. Prepare for a grim tale of extortion, kidnapping, and a murder scene so gruesome it would make Dexter Morgan queasy.
The Sun Gym Gang, initially motivated by financial gain, targeted wealthy individuals, relieving them of their possessions with ruthless efficiency. However, their greed soon spiraled into violence, culminating in a series of brutal murders that left a trail of carnage across Miami. This episode traces the gang’s descent into depravity and the subsequent investigation that finally brought them to justice.
Wahlberg, with his characteristic blend of gravitas and just-folks relatability, guides viewers through the twisted narrative, offering insights into the minds of these muscle-bound criminals. The episode promises a chilling look at the dark underbelly of the bodybuilding world and the lengths some will go to for wealth and power. Just don’t expect any inspirational workout tips.
