Feb 2, 202500:01:00Tap to summarizeWhat is it about serial killers that both horrifies and fascinates us? Is it their ability to hide in plain sight? The twisted motives that defy all logic? Or the chilling realization that evil can wear an ordinary face? From Jack the Ripper’s taunting letters to the Zodiac Killer’s cryptic codes, history is filled with murderers who have left behind more questions than answers. Some, like Ted Bundy, charmed their victims before revealing their true nature. Others, like Jeffrey Dahmer, carried out horrors beyond imagination. But what makes a killer? Is it nature, nurture, or something even darker? And how many are still out there, waiting to be discovered? If you think you know everything about history’s most terrifying killers, think again. The truth is always stranger—and scarier—than fiction. Would you dare to dive deeper into their twisted minds? Join me Stacia in my new podcast Post Mortem launching this week on all platforms!
