Before school shootings… before mass killings made headlines… there was Charles Starkweather — the original teen spree killer who carved a bloody trail across America. At just 19 years old, he murdered 11 people in 8 days, accompanied by his 14-year-old girlfriend, in a killing spree that shocked the nation and redefined what youth violence could mean. 🔪🛻 In this episode, we dig into the psychological profile of a teenager turned executioner — a boy who saw death as rebellion and slaughter as a statement. You’ll hear how their love turned lethal, how they left corpses from Nebraska to Wyoming, and how fear spread like wildfire across the Midwest. This is a chilling look into young rage weaponized — and a deadly journey into what happens when teenage apathy meets pure, remorseless evil. You thought modern crime was terrifying? Starkweather did it first — and he did it with a smile.
