Drew solo hosts to discuss the gruesome murders of Alex J. Mengel, New York State’s serial killer, and the inspiration for the film The Silence of the Lambs. Drew details the gripping pursuit of the fugitive by New York State and his actions that align with notable characters from the film, Buffalo Bill and Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

CW | TW: This episode discusses murder with graphic details of dismemberment and the removal of flesh from a victim’s body (adult and child), domestic violence, attempted abduction, kidnapping, pedophilia, and allusion to unaliving oneself. Listener discretion is advised.
