In the penultimate episode of season two, the ICMAP boys head back to Eastern Europe in order to shine a light on a case that received global attention due to the upload of a significant viral snuff video. Tom and Ben explore the Ukrainian teenagers behind the evil and chilling gore video: “3 Guys, 1 Hammer” as well as their 20 additional slayings committed over a three week period... Igor and Viktor, ‘The Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs’. 

July 7th, 2007 - two 14-year-old school friends Vadim and Andrei make special efforts to wake up before sunrise in order to travel to the nearby Kil’chen River. The boys plan on spending the day at the river in order to catch fresh fish to bring home to their mothers. Without a care in the world, the boys meet and meander off into the darkness, through the silent countryside roads of Pidhorodne. As the boys make their way into a heavily wooded section of road just a few metres from the river, a green daewoo taxicab overtakes them and aggressively pulls to a halt. Two silhouettes exit the vehicle and stand in the middle of the road, motionless. The figures do not move... Nervously, the young boys try to pass, they are met with sudden and vicious force which throws them from their cycles and a frantic, frenzied attack ensues. Vadim manages to flee and spends the rest of the early morning’s darkness hiding in the nearby woods, Andrei wasn’t so lucky... The sounds of hysterical laughter and deranged exclamations pierce through the pine... along with the glare of the Daewoo's headlights. Vadim cowers in cover as Andrei is brutalised. The maniacs strike again... The attacks not only become more frequent and more heinous, but they become more documented. Known globally on gore sites as the evil behind ‘3 Guys, 1 Hammer’, the Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs continue to upload, continue to attack and continue to run free...

But what drove these young boys to brutally murder 21 people in 21 days? Why did the parents continually allow the boys to “get away with murder”? What big mistake did Igor make that would lead to their demise? And was there an international syndicate who had ordered 40 snuff videos from the boys?

Tune in, and all will be revealed!

It’s another dark one, this week, as Tom and Ben don the sunscreen for a trip to the South of New Mexico in search for answers to one of the state’s most divisive questions - did David Parker Ray use his Toy Box purely for mutual pleasures or did he use it to become one of the most horribly successful serial killers of all time? It’s the case of the ‘Toy Box Killer’: David Parker Ray.

Some say that truth or consequences is a place where people go to be forgotten. That it is a place where a man can rightly go about his business without the disruption of peering eyes, second glances and those of an inquisitive disposition... Some say that truth or consequences is a quiet place. A quaint spot able to cook-up year-round postcard images of beautiful sunrises and pristine sunsets amidst the backdrop of our majestic mountains and shimmering lakes... enough to make any grown man or woman cry.

Cut off from the rest of the world by forty thousand square miles of New Mexico desert terrain, people say that truth or consequences is the ultimate and only destination for like-minded strangers to live, truly live, without consequence.

But they don’t seem to have an awful lot to say for people who are TAKEN to truth or consequences.... soon to be forgotten.

So just how did David Parker Ray become the world’s only serial killer never convicted of murder? Did Ray act alone or was he part of an organised group of deviants? What was found at the bottom of Elephant Butte Lake? Were his captors held against their own will or did they share his “kink”? And what other secrets has he taken to the grave with him?

Tune in and all will be revealed!

This week, Tom and Ben make their way to Rostov, Russia - as they uncover the unbelievable and truly chilling case of one of the world’s most dangerously deranged serial killers: Andrei Chikatilo - better known as The Butcher of Rostov...

Good Evening, Ladies and Gentleman and thank you for joining us for this special alert bulletin broadcast. It is just after 5 pm on October 30 1990, we begin today’s show with some haunting reports coming out of Rostov-on-Don. Where, and we warn listeners faint of heart, police have discovered the mutilated and tortured body of 16-year-old boy, at Donleskhoz train station. The wounds upon the young boy’s body are so drastic, so severe that this victim has been immediately linked to the ongoing search for “The Butcher of Rostov” - who has now claimed 51 helpless victims across the country. A wild, vicious and barbaric wave the likes of which our nation has never before seen. The youth has been strangled, stabbed twenty-seven times and castrated, with the tip of his tongue severed and his left eye removed from its socket. The crazed killer is STILL on the loose. Russian Government officials believe this makes this MONSTER the most horrifying, notorious serial killer this nation - or perhaps even the world - has ever seen. We urgently appeal for young people ALL ACROSS THE NATION to be alert, to be vigilant... and to be wary.. of the butcher...

But how was Chikatilo able to evade multiple police forces for so long? What unthinkable events in his childhood would serve to form some of his darkest and most sinister traits? Why was he placed in a purpose-built cage during his eventual trial? What “magic superpower” did Chikatilo possess? For what reason did he sharpen his teeth? And just why did they call him ‘The Goose’!?

Tune in and all will be revealed!
