Child Serial Killers: Evil at an Early Age

from Horrifying History · host Brenda Ganske

Across history, there have been cases so disturbing that even seasoned investigators struggled to understand them.  Kids who should have been riding bikes, trading baseball cards, or doing homework were leaving behind crime scenes, terrified communities, and questions that still haunt psychologists and criminologists to this day.  Is it pure evil?  A broken mind, or perhaps something more disturbing than we want to admit?  So break out your notebooks and pens, my spooky friends.  Today, we are going to talk about something deeply unsettling…killers that still had a curfew.  But before we get started, I want to give you a heads up.  Today, we will be talking about violence among children, child abuse and the death of children.  Listener discretion is advised.  Our website is the spot for everything spooky!  Go to https://horrifying-history-shop.fourthwall.com to watch our history videos, find our social media links, read our spooky blog, get some great creepy merch, and join our fan club!
