  • The Power of a Name
    This episode delves into the origins and significance of criminal nicknames. We'll explore how these monikers are chosen, both by the killers themselves and by the media/public, and the psychological impact they can have. We'll examine case studies of infamous serial killers like the Zodiac and the Night Stalker to understand how their nicknames shaped the public's perception of them and potentially influenced their crimes. Additionally, we'll discuss the role of law enforcement in either embracing or rejecting these nicknames, and how that decision can impact investigations.
