Hi listeners! After this week, we'll be taking a short break for the holiday. We'll be back in December with a special series to close out the year. Until then, here's Ed Gein Pt. 2.

A man known as the Gainesville Ripper. Stay up to date with changes coming to the feed on @serialkillerspodcast! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

She dressed like a grandmother, lied about her age, and acted like a guardian angel… while secretly killing the very people she claimed to help. At her Sacramento boarding house, Dorothea Puente took in elderly, sick and disabled tenants. But once their social security checks arrived, she killed them, then spent all their money.

Richard Biegenwald didn’t have a consistent method or a clear motive. He killed out of impulse—sometimes for attention, sometimes for no reason at all. His crimes were scattered, senseless, and terrifyingly casual. From luring teens to shooting strangers, Biegenwald thrived on chaos and unpredictability. With no victim profile and no emotional trigger, he’s a textbook example of a hedonistic thrill killer—driven not by anger or revenge, but by the rush of the act itself.

I can't say that I'm a fan of this new direction. I appreciated the mature, intelligent, style of the original Serial Killers.

One of the main reasons we like this channel, is the pure narration and insight, without interruptions of chitchat and giggling and whatnot. Could you please at least do a rerun of one of your shows or an episode of something similar. Just please not this. What happened to you #SerialKillers? We loved you.

I think they are both equally guilty and share equal responsibility. They are both just using the tools at their disposal to try and minimize their involvement.

I worked at a dealership across the street from him. before he was caught he was seen pulling plastic bags out of the trash. after he was caught we realized these bags were the perfect size to go over a head. these bags were designed to deliver computers that were subject to recall, they were ant static and almost impossible to rip.
