In the finale of this series, Jared Bradley and Dr. Scott Bonn continues to dive deeper into the psychology of serial killers. They explore the relationship between spirituality and the human need for something to believe in. Drawing insights from their discussions, they examine the impact of societal factors, environmental influences, and the media on the occurrence of extreme behaviors.

One of the key highlights of this episode is the discussion on David Berkowitz, also known as the "Son of Sam." Berkowitz, once infamous for a string of terrifying murders, has reinvented himself as the "Son of Hope" after experiencing a Christian rebirth while in prison. Dr. Scott shares his experience of spending time with Berkowitz and contemplates whether his transformation is genuine or a facade.

Additionally, the episode delves into the rising trend of mass public shootings and its connection to individuals who have lost all belief in anything and feel completely alienated from life and the world. Dr. Scott Bonn explores how this loss of belief is influenced by the current social, political, and cultural context.

Dr. Scott Bonn is a criminologist, podcast host, TV commentator, public speaker and author of the best-selling popular culture book Why We Love Serial Killers: The Curious Appeal of the World’s Most Savage Murderers. He provides expert commentary and analysis for a number of high-profile true crime TV shows and documentaries on A&E, Discovery Network, Oxygen, Investigation Discovery and Travel Channel.
