CopyCat Killers, Part 2

from Twisted Listers Hosted by Twisted Listers

This week, we turn to the fascinating and frustrating topic of false confessions. It’s hard to imagine confessing to a murder you didn’t commit, and incredibly infuriating to follow how corrupt investigators build entire cases based on these shaky statements. Featuring a case that rocked the peaceful island nation of Iceland, an unassuming deckhand who fell under suspicion, and a teen unfairly suspected of his own mother’s murder. Join us as we rage at the unjust systems and corrupt cops that led to these obviously coerced confessions, and contemplate the complicated psychology behind why innocent people would admit to horrific crimes. Whatever you do, twisted listeners, never fall for such manipulative tactics, and always ask for a lawyer! Cases Covered: 1. Derek Brown 2.
