In this disturbing episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale exposes the horrifying crimes of Harvey Carignan, the hammer-wielding sadist who lured his victims with fake job ads and brutally murdered them in cold blood. Known as The Want-Ad Killer, Carignan used deception, manipulation, and charm to bait vulnerable women into his grasp—only to unleash savage violence once they were isolated. Operating from the 1940s through the 1970s, Carignan's crimes spanned multiple states, with victims bludgeoned, raped, and discarded like trash. Despite an early murder conviction being overturned, Carignan would go on to become one of the most violent and methodical killers in U.S. history. This episode unearths the legacy of a monster who used the classifieds to kill—and nearly got away with it.
