Here’s one of our listeners’ most requested episodes of 2019: In 1996, Yates was honorably discharged from active duty in the U.S. Army, but would resume serving his country by enlisting in the National Guard two years later. Few people in the Spokane, Washington metropolitan area would suspect this decorated veteran and family man could be capable of such heartless destruction.
Here’s one of our listeners’ most requested episodes of 2019: He lived a seemingly normal life. A father of five children and army veteran, Robert Lee Yates, was well regarded in the Spokane, Washington community. All of that changed when he went on a murder spree, killing 17 women between 1975 and 1998 in the back of his van.
While on probation after an early release from prison in March of 1990, Jeffrey Dahmer continued his wave of sadistic violence. A chance event would finally lead to his arrest, and a media spectacle would bring Dahmer to the masses.
It was a murderous rampage that could have possibly been prevented. Although Jeffrey Dahmer failed numerous times to turn his life around, his multi-year killing spree also went ignored by his family, neighbors, sentencing judges, and court-appointed therapists.
He was one of the most infamous serial killers of the 20th century, murdering 17 young men between 1978 and 1991 through a variety of cruel and unusual methods. But how did Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the era's most monstrous killers, get his start?

On Christmas Eve 1885, Austin, Texas was again the site of multiple, grisly slayings. Only this time, the victims were not African-American women. They were prominent white women. Did the Annihilator Killer change his M.O. or were there now two serial killers loose in the streets of Austin?

not a huge fan of the podcast it sounds too scripted for me with no special features like recording of interviews ect. will keep listening though!
SAM SOUM
why do you always spoil the story at the beginning ... !!!
Dan The Man
Love the show. Lots of brilliant information. A quick note, G. R. wasn't quoted saying " I hate the whole damned human race, including myself." That quote was made by Carl Panzram. That aside, keep up the great work!

Triflers need not apply...

hands down my favourite podcast well narrated easiar to follow the stort without interruption
Emma Aston
How can you say these crimes were committed when the court conspirators were tortured to get their confessions. It's been proven that under torture most people will tell you anything you want to know. There seems to be no proof or evidence except hearsay
Gabrielle Morrissette
The so called “forensic evidence” in Naming Jack the Ripper is highly questionable and has actually been disproved by several other forensic scientists. But I do think Kominsky is the best suspect
Renita Whitney
I have been listening to Serial Killers since the beginning and I still really find it interesting. Thank you
Joseph Morrow
awsome
SAM SOUM
i don't understand why you make a spoiler in the beginning if each episode.

Hey. Again : You're doing so good. I've forgotten to write this: the killers are extremely scaring. 😱At the same time they were brutalized when they were only little, defenceless children. That is soo sad, and if course we cannot condone their brutalization of other children/male or female or adults.. I hope and wish (and think) , USA has taken this in consideration and act to prevent these horribly, tortured kids to not become torturers too. Greetings from Denmark 🙏🤗
Jonas Grumbie
like I've said before, we sure have had a lot of serial killers in Washington

This makes me sick on so many levels. Somehow the fact that children were murdered isn't even the worst thing in this story 😨
NoaGins
I can appreciate your desire and effort to back up your explanations of psychology, but I personally would enjoy it more if you didn't cite all the sources within the episode. Maybe in the description? Just my opinion
Krystal Smith
this very good podcast I told people about it
Jq Baker
You guys select a great mixture of name everyone know to some complete strangers. love it.

It's more accurate to say, "if there wasn't a serial killer murdering women, they wouldn't have died."

I would have taken advantage of Heath before he even realized his serial killer tendencies. He sounds like he wouldn't be against it lol
Bri W
This guy is wasting time with stiffs?
Sara Nelson
