In June 2011, Israel Keyes abducted and murdered Bill and Lorraine Currier from their home in Essex, Vermont, a crime that went unsolved for years. Months later, he targeted 18-year-old barista Samantha Koenig near his own home in Anchorage, Alaska, breaking the strict rules he'd lived by... and leaving a trail that finally led investigators to him. Keyes died by suicide in 2012, leaving as many as eight murders unresolved and families without answers.

Israel Keyes spent years methodically preparing for murder: burying weapon caches across the country, committing crimes far from home, and maintaining a quiet family life to avoid suspicion. Born into a white nationalist sect and mentored by domestic terrorists, Keyes developed a chilling capacity for violence alongside an equally chilling ability to conceal it. This episode traces his upbringing, his earliest attacks, and the elaborate systems he built to keep killing undetected.

Once again, Vanessa and Dr. Engels are joined by Andrea Gunning of "Betrayal Weekly" to discuss the crimes of Ed Kemper. In early 1973, Kemper murdered UC Santa Cruz students Rosalind Thorpe and Alice Liu following a violent argument with his mother, Clarnell... then turned his rage on her. After killing Clarnell and her friend Sara Hallett, Kemper fled California before voluntarily calling police to confess to eight murders. His subsequent cooperation with investigators helped shape the FBI's behavioral profiling of serial killers.

Vanessa and Dr. Engels are joined by Andrea Gunning of "Betrayal Weekly" to discus the crimes of Ed Kemper, who murdered at least six young women who accepted rides from him while hitchhiking in the 1970s. But the roots of his violence stretched back to a childhood defined by abuse, abandonment, and early acts of cruelty toward animals and family members. After killing his grandparents at 15 and spending years in a psychiatric facility, Kemper returned to society with a calculated understanding of how to manipulate those around him... including the doctors meant to stop him.

In the early 2000s, John Allen Muhammad and 16-year-old Lee Boyd Malvo terrorized the Washington D.C. metropolitan area in a killing spree that left nearly 20 people dead, all to conceal Muhammad's true target: his ex-wife. This episode traces Lee's turbulent childhood in Jamaica and Antigua, and how years of abandonment and abuse left him dangerously vulnerable to Muhammad's calculated manipulation. By the time Lee understood what he had been drawn into, his identity had been systematically dismantled and rebuilt in Muhammad's image.
