Mental Illness Theatre

#124 John Leonard Orr


Listen Later

This week, we're doing a bit of a lighter one, in the sense that there are fewer brutal murders and absolutely no sexual assaults in this story. And after four parts of Dahmer, that is a super yay! John Leonard Orr is a convicted arsonist and murderer who is the epitome of the expert everyone should have been suspicious of. And that's because Orr worked as a fire investigator and eventually, he became so revered in the industry that he trained many other fire investigators. But the whole time, Orr was lighting fires all around California at an alarming rate. So that's always fun.
