In this episode of Unlawful Acts, we expose the twisted crimes of John Edward Robinson, a seemingly ordinary Kansas businessman who became known as “The Internet’s First Serial Killer.” Using early online chat rooms and personal ads, Robinson lured vulnerable women with promises of love, jobs, or stability—only to exploit, torture, and murder them. His calculated manipulation spanned decades, leaving a trail of missing persons across multiple states. We’ll uncover how he used the anonymity of the early internet to prey on victims, the chilling discoveries that led to his arrest, and how his case became a landmark in the history of cybercrime and serial murder.
