Join me now as we shine a light into the darkness, unearthing a history of twisted obsessions nurtured by a man who hid behind an ordinary façade. We’ll explore how he progressed from fantasizing about hurting women, to eventually actualizing his warped delusions on two unsuspecting young females.

Ever heard the phrase “If you give an inch, they’ll take a mile?”



In 2017, a wealthy doctor in his 70s met a young, beautiful model on the verge of homelessness. Wanting to help her out, he began paying her rent. She quickly began asking for more and more…and more.

Episode 211 - Badd Barbie - The Playmate and The Doctor

Imagine stepping out to your mailbox one morning, only to discover an envelope addressed to you from a notorious serial killer who has been locked away since the 80s.



Inside the envelope, you're relieved not to find any grisly mementos; but instead find a birthday card for your infant child along with a handwritten message complimenting you on your beautiful family.



Some might argue that such a message would be just as horrifying as receiving a severed finger or lock of hair. Either way, for most people, receiving anything in the mail from a serial killer would be abnormal.

Episode 210 - Selfie Slayer - The Case of Amanda Taylor

A newlywed couple’s honeymoon is supposed to be the happiest time of their lives - their first chance to introduce themselves as spouses to the world. Embarking on a journey of love, adventure, and discovery together.



Comedian Mike Binder described Honeymoons as “A short period of doting between dating and debting” It's one of those things that’s funny because for many of us…it’s true



One way to avoid the “debt” part, of course, is to marry a millionaire. Which is exactly what Swedish citizen Anni Dewani had done, in the fall of 2010.

Episode 209 - Honeymoon Hijacking - The Murder Of Anni Dewani

Throughout the early 2000s, there was a particular man who believed he’d been severely wronged: treated unfairly and unjustly by a certain group of people…. 



Day after day, these perceived offenses continued eating away at him and he constantly blamed others for everything wrong in his life, which had fallen into utter shambles. 



Ultimately consumed by his rage, he decided to take revenge against everyone he believed had done him wrong. And it was no shortlist.
