Netflix's "The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker" traces one man's rise and fall from hitchhiking hero to murder suspect. Kai Lawrence, also known as Caleb Lawrence McGillvary, became a viral online sensation after using a hatchet to fend off an attack on a utility worker in 2012. In an interview with a local news station in Fresno, California, he claimed to "smash, smash, smash" the attacker, with whom he received a ride. But not long after the clip went viral, McGillvary became wanted for the May 2013 death of 73-year-old lawyer Joseph Galfy in New Jersey, per SF Gate.
