Investigators searched for answers while the culprit hid in plain sight for over a year...drinking with police officers, charming everyone around him, and growing increasingly dangerous.This week, we are taking a deep dive into the the making of the Co-Ed Killer.Before Ed Kemper became one of America's most notorious serial killers, he was a troubled teenager with a violent past, a genius-level IQ, and a disturbing fascination with death. In Part One, we explore Kemper's childhood, the murders of his grandparents, his years inside a psychiatric hospital, and the terrifying mistakes that led to his release.And trust me...it only gets darker from here.
