7His first murder in 1944 had gone exactly as planned: the body had dissolved in acid, and he was sure no one would ever find out what he had done. So, with that in mind, John George Haigh set about repeating the process again, and again—always chasing the next big score.
Born in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the 20th century, John George Haigh rebelled against his hyper-religious upbringing and opted for a life of crime. He didn't see the point in earning an honest living when he could con others out of theirs. But Haigh soon realized that he needed a way to swindle people and make sure they stayed silent.
As his living conditions deteriorated in the late 2000's, so did Anthony Sowell’s state of mind. Investigators were horrified when they finally searched his Cleveland home and found the corpses of his victims decaying in nearly every room.
Plagued by addiction, Anthony Sowell killed 11 women between May 2007 and September of 2009. As his abuse became worse, so did his living conditions. Eventually Sowell was almost a total recluse, kept company only by the rotting bodies he kept in his home.
By 1984, after a lifetime spent breaking the law and facing few consequences, John Edward Robinson had finally crossed the line into cold-blooded murder. Having gotten away with it before, he decided that nothing was stopping him from doing it again, and again...
As a child growing up in Illinois in the 1940s and ‘50s, John Edward Robinson was obsessed with figures from the criminal underworld. When he was grown and married, he began conning his way into jobs he wasn't qualified for. It wasn't long before his scheming ways took a decidedly dark turn...
In the late 1960s, Donald Henry Gaskins found himself consumed by a ravenous rage. He began stalking the highways of South Carolina, searching for victims. Eventually, he became so violent that even a maximum security prison couldn't stop him from killing.
Between 1953 and 1982, Donald Henry “Pee Wee” Gaskins murdered at least 14 people, and claimed to have killed over 100. Gaskins began his crime spree early, and went from a young burglar and car thief in South Carolina to one of the most brutal serial murderers in U.S. history.
In 1989, Danny Rolling had already gotten away with a shocking triple murder. As he tried to stay ahead of the Shreveport cops, he made his way to Gainesville, where he set about terrorizing the University of Florida Campus as the “Gainesville Ripper.”
It's likely that an abusive, loveless upbringing in the 1960s and ‘70s shaped Danny Rolling’s troubling violent sexual fantasies. After a young life of petty crime in Louisiana and Georgia, one incident set Danny off.

1) Woman files sexual assault report. It takes detectives several weeks to get back to her. 2) Another woman enters a pizza parlor, bloody and screaming for help. The man that kidnapped and raped her is right outside. The owner kicks her out and tells her to stop bleeding in front of the customers. SMH. Surprised he was caught at all. Luckily they stopped him at 11.
pure evil. hope he rots in hell.
you really don't need to end every single episode of the show you are trying to push
I think this is great and I've been into true crime since the 90s.
Great episode! Loved it!
Something about Greg's and Vanessa's chemistry just clicks! Listening to them on Unsolved Murders and then realizing these two have their own podcast series was a definite listen. I'm not disappointed!
Please note,I do jerk off alot though I am not a professional masterbator,"thanks Greg"!
if ye don't stop playing "daily quotes" then I'm unsubscribing
why the music? can't anything be subdued? sheesh.
More cop bashing....
EVERY single time they play knocking on the door sound I freak out thinking it's on my door.
I'd never paid much attention to BTK... Not sure why. This man is DISGUSTING!!!!! He ENJOYED WATCHING then suffer... I know a lot kf killers enjoyed the suffering... but to me, sitting in a chair watching a little boy suffocate is PURE HORROR!!!! And then to go home ans play the perfect Father/Husband & Church Goer...
Honestly it's a little freaky to hear her name because we share last names 😅 (no relations though, just a common-ish last name!)
I hate her life
What's wrong with Claire's voice. "C'est pas très clair!" ;-)
I have been waiting for someone to do a podcast on this guy.
What's frightening about this case is the way this poor man was refused help and treated by the justice system. If he was from an affluent family he would be in a mental institution...
My ex partners father fixed Fred's car in Gloucester during the time he was active, needless to say their was genuinely a shovel in the trunk of the car
The mild Marxism in this episode is a bit much. Essentially capitalism made me do it.
Thank you for sharing these "older" episodes about Robert Lee Yates. During this time, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!!
