Liverpool, 1993: Two 10-year-old boys kidnap and savagely murder 2-year-old James Bulger. What would compel such young children to commit such a vicious act on a little kid? The investigation and trial produced overwhelming evidence against the two young killers, who spent the rest of their childhood in prison. Now as adults, they have mostly vanished from the public eye. Due to a bizarre British law, it is a federal crime to look for them. There is no way to know if or when they will kill again. In this episode: Prof. Michael Drane and Jeremy Enfinger to explore this perplexing case.

In this Episode: The transition to Category 17 is what Micahel Stone calls "a move into the darkest territory of the Gradations of Evil scale—covering a wide array of serial killers, torturers, and sadists. "

Long behind us are the killers who kill in self-defense, or because they momentarily lost their reasoning, their sanity….

The level 17 killer is something else, something darker. • They kill purely for the psychological gratification of the murder itself.

What sets the level 17 killer apart is their attacks usually involve some kind of sexual contact with their victim.

To review Michael Stone's Gradations of Evil scale is to try and understand the motives behind WHY people do these things. Sometimes, even the killers themselves can't explain it.

When you look at the examples commonly given for level 17, you find familiar names- Ted Bundy & Richard Ramirez- two serial rapists and sadists. Utterly unfeeling.

The thing is, both of these cases have been covered Ad nauseam on this and every other podcast. - So I don't want to focus on the stories of Richard Ramirez and Ted Bundy as much as I want to talk about the pathology of the level 17 killer, using Ramirez and Bundy as examples.
