Dark Dialogue: Chicago Ripper Crew Part 3 - Arrests & Confessions
Episode 3: “The Breaking Point — Arrests & Confessions”
When Chicago police arrested Robin Gecht on October 20, 1982, they didn’t yet realize they were dismantling one of the most sadistic cults in American history.
From Beverly Washington’s miraculous survival to the chain of interrogations, confessions, and forensic discoveries that followed, this episode chronicles the pivotal week when the façade of normalcy collapsed — revealing the full depravity of the Chicago Ripper Crew.
Over the next twelve days, detectives arrested Edward Spreitzer, Andrew Kokoraleis, and Thomas Kokoraleis, unraveling a ritual network that turned murder into ceremony. Through firsthand statements, investigative records, and survivor accounts, John and Angela take you inside the interrogation rooms, the forensic evidence, and the confessions that finally broke the case wide open.
This episode exposes the moment when police, prosecutors, and the public first faced the unthinkable truth — and the women who refused to be erased by it.
