Edward Kemper was intelligent, articulate, and terrifyingly self-aware. Known as the Co-Ed Killer, Kemper murdered six young women in 1970s California after being released from a psychiatric hospital for killing his grandparents as a teenager.

In this episode of Terrified, we explore Kemper’s deeply disturbing upbringing, his calculated crimes, and the chilling calm with which he later confessed — and cooperated with the FBI. Was he a product of abuse, a master manipulator, or something far darker?

A story not just of violence, but of a killer who wanted to be understood.
