The Killer Who Never Was
In the mid 1990’s, Thomas Quick swiftly became Sweden’s most notorious serial killer, confessing to the murders of over 30 people. Police investigated and he was convicted on 8 counts of murder, sentenced to live out his days in the mental hospital he had been a patient at on and off for many years. There was just one small catch… Thomas Quick never actually killed anyone. Join us today as Briana takes us through the twists and turns of this fascinating case that took the Nordic countries for a loop.
