Description

Why is there such an obsession with True Crime stories in America? Andrew Iden, host of the Deviant podcast, has made a career covering true crime stories. Robyn Curnow wanted to know, out of all of the crazy stories — which one stayed with him? He quickly said…


BTK. The killer who would Bind. Torture. Kill.


“He was a killer in the 70s and 80s and went dark for a long time.

He came back in the early 2000s.

He taunted the media.

He taunted the victims' families.

And he was living a very normal life as a postman and a guy in the community that everybody knew…


but he was literally living two separate lives.”


True Crime as an industry


Jack the Ripper, Ted Bundy, The Zodiac Killer. Whether or not you know what their crimes, most Americans know their names. I want to know… why?


Why is it that America loves true crime stories so much? Perhaps people are just drawn to stories of other people who stray from the path of “normalcy.”
