He seemed like any other married man in 1960s Oregon — a job, a wife, a house in the suburbs. But behind closed doors, Jerry Brudos was keeping secrets that would make him one of the most disturbing serial killers in American history. In this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we dig into the case of Jerome Henry Brudos — the "Lust Killer" — a man whose obsession with women's shoes and clothing began in childhood and escalated into kidnapping, murder, and the unthinkable. What does it take for a husband and father to lead a double life this dark? And how did investigators finally catch up with him? We're covering it all: his deeply troubled childhood, his volatile marriage, the murders of at least four young women in the Salem, Oregon area, and the investigation that brought him down. Trigger warning: this episode contains graphic descriptions of violence, sexual sadism, and disturbing criminal behavior. Hitched 2 Homicide explores the intersection of marriage, domesticity, and deadly crime. New episodes every week.
