In 1990 in Florida, a series of horrific killings shook the town as young college students became brutal victims. The perpetrator, Danny Rolling, didn’t just murder his victims—he displayed their bodies in gruesome fashion, carving symbols and arranging them in bizarre poses. Unique elements—like newspaper mantra scraps found at the scenes, an accidental fingerprint left behind, and eyewitness testimony from the night before—are unpacked in chilling detail.

In this episode, you’ll learn how investigators tied together forensic evidence—from DNA traces and fingerprints to emergency call recordings—to unmask the killer and recognize his “ritual” patterns. We also explore eyewitness interview techniques, the psychological profiling process, and vital warning signs that can be overlooked when violence erupts on campus.
