As Elliot enters his teenage years, feelings of alienation and emptiness begin to consume him. He feels invisible, struggling to fit in or form connections. This isolation fuels a growing hatred—towards himself and the world around him. During this time, his frustration and bitterness deepen, setting the stage for dangerous thoughts.

This episode features insights from Brian Whitney, author of The 'Supreme Gentleman' Killer: The True Story of an Incel Mass Murderer, exploring Elliot Rodger and the 2014 Isla Vista massacre. Follow Crime by PodLit to stay updated when new episodes drop.
