Hitchhiking is Canceled: The Ed Kemper Story

Welcome back, Murder Nerds! This week on Hot Mess Murder Club, Kat and Holly are tackling a man who took "mommy issues" to a wildly unhinged, deeply horrific level.Meet Edmund Kemper: a six-foot-nine, 300-pound genius with an IQ that could launch a rocket and the emotional stability of a wet napkin. We are diving into the absolute dumpster fire that was Big Ed's life. We trace his terrifying evolution from a childhood spent locked in a damp Montana basement staring at a furnace he thought was Satan, to his "practice run" of executing his grandparents.And if you thought he was bad, wait until you hear about the California psychiatric system. We discuss the state's brilliantly flawed idea to parole him directly back to the exact abusive mother who broke his brain in the first place.We break down how Kemper engineered an inescapable rolling cage out of a Ford Galaxie, manipulated the entire Santa Cruz police force by buying them rounds at the local pub, and carried out a brutal, highly calculated spree against young hitchhikers. Finally, we detail the ultimate, deeply disturbed finale: a horrific Easter weekend showdown with his mother, Clarnell, some highly disrespectful flowerbed landscaping, and a Colorado payphone confession where he literally had to argue with the cops just to get arrested because he was simply too tired to keep being a fugitive.Lock your car doors (seriously, check the inside handles), double-check your closets, and join us for a masterclass in why you should never trust a giant guy with a mustache.👇 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
