Active Serial Killers: They're Not All Gone

What this episode covers

Put down your true crime coloring book, turn off that third rewatch of Mindhunter, and triple-check your locks, because today we’re getting a broader understanding of active serial killers.Maybe they didn’t go extinct.Maybe they changed their ways just enough that we stopped noticing.We’re not talking about Jeffrey Dahmer’s glasses or the psychology of Ed Kemper. We’re talking about the now.Because while Netflix has made a buffet of the past’s worst men, we seem to forget:They’re still out there.Still watching.Still following.Still killing.But now? They’ve adapted to a world with doorbell cameras, automatic license plate readers, and a public that no longer pays attention unless there’s a trailer attached.We prefer our killers archived, not active.Dead, not digital.Cold case, not current.But that’s a myth. And today, we’re breaking it wide open.Sources:Houston Serial Killer (Law &Crime Network)https://youtu.be/DWF-sP7M92g?s...The Disturbing Trait That Almost all Serial Killers Share (Grunge)https://youtu.be/XVNxZmPwU0s?s...New England Serial Killerhttps://youtu.be/7SGTmBEuKyM?s...Smiley Face Killer (Oxygen)https://youtu.be/Ju_RvpH7ng0?s...Samuel Little (Oxygen)https://youtu.be/CJImvxxuERU?s...Israel Keyes (ABC News)https://youtu.be/9mztHlgThj0?s...MMIW & Girls (Broads Next Door)https://open.spotify.com/episo...Why Are There Fewer Serial Killers?
