Episode 81 - Name That Serial Killer Part 1

Lindy takes a different approach this week, and instead of revealing who the episode is about, she leaves it up to the listener to figure out which monster she's pulled out of the closet.

In part 1 of our 2 part series, we discuss the early life of "a young boy" who faced numerous challenges and hardships. From growing up on a struggling farm to dealing with physical and mental health issues, this boy's early life was far from easy. He experienced abandonment, theft, and rape. The story begins with the boy's abuse at a school, where he was subjected to physical and emotional torment. Despite the abuse, the boy's resilience and rebellious nature allowed him to survive, and seek revenge on his attackers. Will he become a dominant figure in prison, repeating the cycle of violence and futhering the impact of trauma on his psyche?

The life and actions of this mysterious man takes him from riding the rails to working in a circus, where he ultimately sets the tents on fire. The hosts explore the man's encounters with a safecracker, his destructive acts, and his eventual escape and revenge. The episode ends with a farewell and a promise of more to come in the next episode.
