Killing 15 Minutes

Eugene Barrett, a serial killer from Hawaii, murdered three women over a span of 40 years. He had a history of excessive drinking and was dishonorably discharged from the army. Barrett's first murder occurred in 1959 when he shot his ex-girlfriend. He was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment but was later paroled. Barrett went on to commit two more murders, one in 1972 and another in 1995. The criminal justice system failed these women, and Barrett should never have been released after his first murder.

The Honolulu Strangler, also known as The Honolulu Rapist, is the nickname given to an unidentified serial killer who is credited with killing five women in Hawaii from 1985 and 1986. Only the second serial killer in Hawaiian history (excluding the US *badum tsh*)
The Honolulu Strangler is the second known serial killer in Hawaii, responsible for the rape and murder of five women in 1985 and 1986. The cases remain unsolved, but Howard Gay was the primary suspect. The police couldn't find enough evidence to charge him, but he failed a polygraph test. The murders stopped after he was investigated. Polygraphs are no longer admissible in court. The cases highlight the challenges of solving crimes without modern forensic technology. There is also a discussion about the limitations of unsolved cases and the existence of multiple serial killers in Hawaii.

Jerry Brudos killed at least four women between 1968 to 1969, and was probably the most looney of the sick puppies we cover. So much so that the accidentally secondhand buzzed AJ may or may not have had a bit of a tweak out over the absurdism over this big fan of My Left Foot.

In the 1400s, France saw massive upheavals in socio-political conquests, and the right hand of Joan of Arc was Gilles de Rais, the man who kidnapped and sacrificed kids to try and summon demons according to the last 500 years of potential propaganda. Sounds like a fun guy.
Gilles de Reys, a knight and lord from Brittany, was convicted as a confessed serial killer of children in the 1400s. He was involved in the occult and attempted to summon a demon multiple times. He confessed to killing between 100 to 200 children and was executed in 1440. There have been questions of his guilt and conspiracy theories surrounding his case. The history of the case is written by those who gained from it, and it is difficult to determine the exact truth after 500 years. The podcast acknowledges the limitations of a 15-minute episode in exploring such a complex case.
