In this episode, we examine the disturbing case of Stephen Port, a British serial killer who used dating apps to lure young men to their deaths. Between 2014 and 2015, Port murdered four men in Barking, London, exploiting trust, drugs, and systemic failures that allowed him to kill again and again. We explore who his victims were, how police initially misjudged the deaths, and the devastating consequences of those mistakes.
