Olivia R. | Inside the mind of a serial killer #77
from TWO TAPS AND FRIENDS · host Daniel Rosenberg
In this intimate father-daughter conversation, criminal defense attorney Daniel Rosenberg sits down with his daughter Olivia to explore the chilling world of serial killers through the lens of real legal experience. They discuss landmark cases like the Zodiac Killer, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and others, while examining how mental health, childhood trauma, evolving law enforcement tools, and DNA technology have transformed the pursuit of justice. Beyond the crimes, this episode reveals the human side: the unpredictability of clients with severe mental illness, the evolution of criminal profiling, school safety protocols, and why understanding these minds matters—not to sensationalize, but to foster awareness and prevention. Thoughtful, honest, and grounded in real-world insight, it’s a conversation that bridges generational curiosity with professional wisdom.
