George Russell Jr.: The Class Clown Who Became a Serial Killer

In 1958 Florida, George Russell Jr. seemed destined for an ordinary life—or at least as ordinary as it could be with his mother, Joyce, leaving him behind to start college. Fast-forward, and George’s life takes more turns than a soap opera on fast-forward. His charm and humor kept people entertained, but underneath the jokes was a kid desperate for attention. In high school, he was the class clown; in his twenties, a couch-hopping charmer with friends all over Bellevue’s nightclubs. But George’s need for connection took a dark, disturbing twist that no one could see coming. He was the “helpful” guy at the police station by day, a nightclub prowler by night, and a chilling killer lurking in the shadows. This episode dives into the life of George Russell Jr.—the boy who wanted to be loved, the man who terrified a community, and the murderer who thought he could charm his way out of anything.
