    #craigslist #truecrime #podcast The wild west of craigslist was a interesting and, in some cases, a very scary place. From personal ads too missed connections, you would have to keep your self safe using this website. Some people took advantage of this in very dark and disgusting ways. Philip Markoff, The Craigslist Killer is one of those people. He took the life of one individual and injured several others. I have a theory that he might have turned into one of the most infamous serial killers of our time, if he didn't get caught. However, many think he was in debt to some dangerous people and turned to armed robbery. What do you guys think?? I hope you guys enjoyed this one, Philip Markoff is a very interesting case.

Every aspect of this mans life was to find a way to make money and scam people. Friends, family, and colleagues were on the short list of victims of his disturbing crimes. The most infamous part of history has to be his murder hotel. Where rooms would have laundry shoots so he can dispose of the bodies to the basement where they were treated as cadavers and parts sold off to scientists. We dive into the mind of a H.H. Holmes in attempts to understand how this man became this crazy. A serial killing entrepreneur from the 1800s. Thanks for spending the time with us on this episode!

    Ted Bundy is by far the most known serial killer of American history. His crimes had stretched across multiple states and his victim is believed to be higher than the 30 he confessed too. Like a lot of other well known serial killers, Bundy kept a normal life as a façade for his heinous acts. His careers span into different fields, and his political involvement was intriguing. One of the most vile points of his working life was when he worked for a crime prevention and even wrote a pamphlet on how women could avoid being abused. Later he joined the DES and was involved in the search of missing women. Ted was so far ahead of the game he was working for the people who would potentially go after him. Ted was finally caught and convicted of two death sentences and received the electric chair in 1989. #truecrime #tedbundy #serialkiller Other Important Links: Website: Truecrimedrunks.com Email: Truecrimedrunks@gmail.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7KbbojxzifTOrFzhXutmxU Twitch: Twitch.tv/truecrimedrunks Instagram: instagram.com/truecrimedrunks/ Anchor: https://anchor.fm/truecrimedrunks --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/truecrimedrunks/support
