When people talk about Jeffrey Epstein or other evil men, like Jeffrey Dahmer or Adolf Hitler, they tend to label them “monsters” or “sub-human”. They do this in an attempt to not only distance themselves from their evil acts, but to separate themselves further by saying that these evil men had a different nature from “normal” men. The problem with this is that all men have the same nature, and it is only due to God's mercy that He constrains their sin and limits the depravity of their actions. Jeffrey Epstein was, without a doubt, an evil man, but if you understand history and the nature of human behavior, you will find that many men have and would act in similar ways. For a man who has vast financial resources and no fear of God, this type of behavior is more typical than exceptional.In this episode, we focus on the nature of evil and the outworking of man's depravity. We discuss how easy it is to magnify the sins of certain men while completely overlooking the sins of others who have done far worse. While Jeffrey Epstein did great evil, the Catholic church has in the same general time period, molested thousands upon thousands of young boys and girls worldwide, with very little prosecution or media attention.

In the episode, host Clay Edwards reacts to the death of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson at age 84, expressing mixed views on his legacy while focusing on Jackson's criticisms of Donald Trump and his supporters. Edwards highlights several controversial statements from Jackson, including a 2017 response to the Charlottesville events where Jackson accused Trump's rhetoric of fueling "ignorance and hate and fear and violence" from the White House, linking the "Make America Great Again" slogan to "make America segregated again." He cites Jackson's 2016 accusation that Trump voters were "complicit in racism" for supporting a candidate who espoused anti-Semitic tropes, anti-Muslim policies, and anti-Mexican sentiments, stating, "You're on the team... the racist team." Edwards also references Jackson's 2018 claim that the Trump administration advocated "authoritarianism, not decency, and white supremacy, not multiculturalism," and a 2018 column where Jackson contrasted Trump with Abraham Lincoln, accusing him of railing against immigrants, embracing neo-Nazis, assailing the free press, and dismantling governance. Edwards notes Jackson's involvement in pushing LGBTQ issues late in life, which he sees as hijacking the Rainbow Coalition, and mentions Jackson's role in the Jeffrey Dahmer case as a positive contribution. On Trump, Edwards shares the president's Truth Social post calling Jackson a "good man" with "lots of personality, grit, and street smarts" who "truly loved people," while debating whether Trump should lower flags to half-mast—predicting he will for virtue-signaling but hoping he won't, given Jackson's attacks and Democratic double standards. Edwards argues Trump's flaw is appeasing critics who constantly move the goalposts on racism accusations, emphasizing that pleasing Democrats is futile.

Ospite della puntata la giornalista, psicoterapeuta e criminologa Barbara Fabbroni. Un'intervista per analizzare gli aspetti più mediatici del caso e per riflettere su come, dopo questa enorme sovraesposizione mediatica, i giudici e i magistrati potranno fare il loro lavoro in maniera indipendente e autonoma. Tra tante domande senza risposta una sola cosa è certa: finire nel tritacarne mediatico significa avere la vita rovinata, non importa se innocenti o colpevoli.___________________________Qui trovi i nostri libri!

Oh, if we could just make it to heaven by comparison. One of the great offenses of the gospel is that none of us is "good enough". We all fall short. The Bible notes that everybody, even our own beloved mothers, don't earn heaven by being "good enough." So is God thwarted in His desire that none should perish? Nope. He makes a way thru Jesus that gives access to all to call on Him. Our "earning" is discarded for His accomplishment.  Join me for 7 minutes to see if being "better than Hitler" is enough. https://youtu.be/wTO84eP0V4s

A hilarious Jeff Francoeur story turns into an all-time sports prank: Greg Maddux allegedly signed autograph balls as “Jeffrey Dahmer” to mess with suspected resellers, while making sure kids still got the real signature. The crew debates how anyone could miss it, then a caller from the Upper East Side drops a perfect firsthand twist from a 2014 autograph event where Maddux allegedly joked about not writing a serial killer name on his jersey. From there the segment spins into a convo about all-time greats struggling as owners and coaches.

If you listened to Tuesday's episode covering the cold hard facts of the Ottis Toole case, you know the basics. His horrific childhood in Jacksonville's Springfield neighborhood. His partnership with Henry Lee Lucas. His six confirmed murder convictions. His confessions to the Adam Walsh killing. But the basics only scratch the surface of one of the most mishandled investigations in American criminal history.This episode of The Redacted Report digs into the dark corners that mainstream coverage leaves out. We expose the Jacksonville detective who was removed from the case after allegedly feeding Toole information about the Walsh murder in exchange for a promised book deal. We examine the controversial Luminol photograph that a retired detective claims shows Adam Walsh's face etched in blood on Toole's car floorboard, and why critics say the image was manipulated to show something that was never really there.We reveal the disturbing 1988 letter Toole sent to John and Revé Walsh demanding five thousand dollars in exchange for telling them where their son's body was buried. We play excerpts from the recorded prison phone calls between Toole and Lucas where the two killers casually discussed cannibalism and compared notes on their crimes. We revisit the seventeen-year-old Sears security guard whose decision to kick a group of children out of the store may have placed six-year-old Adam Walsh directly in the path of a predator.We also investigate the Jeffrey Dahmer connection that the Hollywood Police Department never adequately addressed. Two credible eyewitnesses independently identified Dahmer as a man they saw at the Hollywood Mall the same day Adam disappeared. Dahmer was living in South Florida at the time and had access to a blue van matching witness descriptions. When FBI Agent Neil Purtell interviewed Dahmer about the case, Dahmer's response haunted him for years.This episode examines why the case was closed using an exceptional clearance rather than an actual prosecution, what that administrative maneuver really means, and why Police Chief Chad Wagner admitted at the press conference that the magic wand piece of evidence simply does not exist.We discuss the other suspect nobody remembers, a man named Edward James who reportedly confessed to a cellmate and had new seat covers installed in his car weeks after the murder.The Ottis Toole case is a study in tunnel vision, lost evidence, competing agendas, and a justice system more interested in closing files than finding truth.

On July 27, 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh vanished from a Sears department store at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida. Two weeks later, fishermen discovered his severed head in a drainage canal near Vero Beach. His body was never found. This case would transform America's approach to missing children forever, but the question of who actually killed Adam Walsh remains deeply contested to this day. In this episode of The Redacted Report, we go beyond the official narrative to explore the details that rarely make it into documentaries and news specials. We examine the seventeen-year-old security guard whose fateful decision to remove rowdy kids from the store left Adam alone and vulnerable in an unfamiliar parking lot. We dig into the explosive allegations that emerged during the Sears lawsuit, including claims made under oath by Adam's godfather Jimmy Campbell about a four-year affair with Revé Walsh and the family's alleged drug use. We trace the bizarre confession carousel of convicted serial killer Ottis Toole, who admitted to the murder dozens of times only to recant repeatedly, and whose partner Henry Lee Lucas was proven to be in a Maryland jail cell on the day of the abduction. We also investigate the controversial Jeffrey Dahmer theory championed by journalist Arthur Jay Harris and witnesses Willis Morgan and Bill Bowen, who independently identified Dahmer as the suspicious man they saw at the Hollywood Mall that day. Dahmer was living in Miami Beach at the time, working at Sunshine Subs just twenty minutes from where Adam disappeared, and had access to a blue van matching witness descriptions. Former FBI agent Neil Purtell, who interviewed Dahmer in prison, believes the serial killer's cryptic statement that "anyone who killed Adam Walsh could not live in any prison, ever" was essentially a coded admission of guilt. We examine the catastrophic failures of the Hollywood Police Department, including the lost bloodstained carpet from Toole's Cadillac, the missing machete, and the destroyed vehicle that might have provided the DNA evidence needed for a conviction.We question the controversial Luminol photograph that retired detective Joe Matthews compared to the Shroud of Turin, which critics dismiss as forensic pareidolia. And we explore how Police Chief Chad Wagner's 2008 decision to close the case through "exceptional clearance" satisfied the Walsh family but left many investigators and witnesses unconvinced.Through it all, we trace Adam's extraordinary legacy, from the Missing Children Act of 1982 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to America's Most Wanted to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. John Walsh transformed unimaginable grief into systemic change that has protected millions of children and led to the capture of over twelve hundred fugitives.This is the Adam Walsh case as you've never heard it before. The official story says Ottis Toole was the killer. The evidence says something far more complicated.

Nathan and Ryan take a grim turn with Dahmer (2002), the unsettling true-crime drama starring Jeremy Renner as infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Instead of leaning into exploitation, the film opts for a cold, restrained approach, focusing on isolation, routine, and the quiet horror of unchecked violence. The hosts discuss Renner's chilling performance, the film's muted tone, and whether Dahmer succeeds as a character study rather than a traditional serial killer thriller. It's an uncomfortable watch—and a very different kind of horror than the usual Drive-In fare.

Todos conocen los crímenes de Jeffrey Dahmer, pero pocos analizan el factor clave que le permitió matar impunemente durante años: la negligencia sistémica.En este episodio de Bitácora del Crimen, abrimos el expediente del "Monstruo de Milwaukee" no para repasar el morbo de sus actos, sino para diseccionar el fallo monumental de las autoridades. Analizamos cómo el racismo, la homofobia institucional y la incompetencia policial permitieron que Dahmer escapara, incluso cuando las víctimas fueron entregadas literalmente en manos de la policía.Este no es solo un análisis de una mente perturbada; es un estudio forense de cómo una sociedad ciega puede ser cómplice de un depredador.

When Jeffrey Dahmer was finally caught in 1991, his confessions to detectives revealed the full horror of his crimes. He admitted in chilling detail that he had lured men and boys back to his apartment, where he drugged, strangled, and dismembered them. He described how he kept body parts as trophies, including skulls and bones, and in some cases engaged in acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. His willingness to recount these actions without visible remorse shocked investigators, as he openly discussed his urges, rituals, and the escalating compulsion that drove him to kill.Dahmer explained to detectives that he had begun killing in the late 1970s and that his crimes grew more methodical and grotesque over time. He spoke about his desire to create “zombies” by drilling into victims' skulls and attempting to inject chemicals, a twisted effort to make them submissive and permanently under his control. His confessions painted a picture of a man consumed by obsession, driven by both sexual compulsion and a profound need for domination. The level of detail he provided gave law enforcement the clearest view into his psyche and the systematic way he carried out his murders, making his case one of the most infamous in modern criminal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:confession1.pdf

Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as the "Milwaukee Cannibal" or the "Milwaukee Monster," was an American serial killer and sex offender. He gained notoriety for a gruesome series of murders and acts of necrophilia and cannibalism that occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s. Here is a summary of his life and crimes:Early Life: Jeffrey Dahmer was born on May 21, 1960, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. He grew up in a seemingly normal family but exhibited troubling behavior as a child, including an early fascination with dead animals.First Murder: His killing spree began in 1978, shortly after high school graduation, when he murdered a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks. Dahmer later said this was the point at which he felt a compulsion to kill.Modus Operandi: Dahmer's modus operandi involved luring young men, often of Asian or African-American descent, to his apartment. He would then drug and strangle them, engaging in sexual acts with the corpses and sometimes dismembering them.Arrest and Imprisonment: Dahmer's crimes went undetected for years. However, in 1991, police arrested him for a different reason and discovered gruesome evidence in his apartment, leading to his arrest and eventual conviction.Confessions: Dahmer confessed to the murders of 17 young men and boys, revealing chilling details of his crimes during interrogations. He showed a complete lack of remorse for his actions.Trial and Sentencing: In 1992, Dahmer went to trial in Wisconsin. He was found guilty of 15 counts of murder and sentenced to 16 consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of parole.Death in Prison: On November 28, 1994, Dahmer was murdered by a fellow inmate, Christopher Scarver, in a prison in Portage, Wisconsin. Scarver also killed another inmate during the same attack.In a new documentary being presented by Fox, we are hearing never before released audio of Jeffrey Dahmer and his father during a phone call where Dahmer admits to his father that he kept body parts from a victim in a box at his grandmothers house. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EXCLUSIVE: Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer bragged to his father that he kept the mummified head and genitals of one of his victims in a box in his grandmother's basement, never-before-heard prison phone call reveals | Daily Mail Online

Reid Carter concludes the Jeffrey Dahmer special with the trial that captivated America. January 1992: Dahmer pleaded guilty but insane to 15 murders. Defense claimed necrophilia and multiple personalities made him kill. Prosecution argued he was calculating, organized, and in complete control. February 15, 1992: Jury deliberated 10 hours—guilty but sane on all counts. Sentenced to 957 years in prison. November 28, 1994: Fellow inmate Christopher Scarver beat Dahmer to death with a metal bar in the prison gym. Crushed his skull. Dahmer was thirty-four. Prison justice for the Milwaukee Cannibal who showed zero remorse.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Was it the rise of hitchhiking? Lead in the water pipes? Or was it something a little darker in our culture? Bob rings up private investigator and host of the podcast Hell & Gone: Murder Line — Catherine Townsend — to learn why there were so many serial killers in America during the 1970s. From Ted Bundy to the Night Stalker and John Wayne Gacy, we dive into the “golden age” of serial killers to see how difficult it was to catch predators in a world before DNA testing, cell phones, and surveillance cameras. But that also begs the question: Are there fewer serial killers today? Listen, and find out!

Reid Carter exposes how Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 young men between 1978 and 1991 while Milwaukee police ignored every warning sign. Convicted in 1988 for molesting a 13-year-old Laotian boy, served just 10 months. May 1991: Three police officers returned the victim's 14-year-old brother—naked, bleeding, and drugged—to Dahmer's apartment. Thirty minutes later, Konerak Sinthasomphone was dead. July 22, 1991: Tracy Edwards escaped with handcuffs dangling from his wrist and led police to apartment 213. Inside: eleven bodies, severed heads in the refrigerator, body parts in acid barrels. The Milwaukee Cannibal's thirteen-year killing spree finally ended.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Netflix's Monster: The Ed Gein Story shocked audiences - but does it really capture the truth? We're joined by Jim Clemente, former FBI profiler, criminal behavioural analyst, and writer for Criminal Minds, to analyze how Netflix dramatized Ed Gein's psychology and what the real offender profile looks like.From Gein's obsession with his mother to his post-mortem rituals and the myth of the “serial killer” label, Clemente brings a real FBI lens to separate fact from Hollywood fiction. He also shares insights on how true cases - like Jeffrey Dahmer and Albert Fish - reveal the psychology of killers who blur the line between horror and reality. According to Jim Clemente, retired FBI behavioural analyst and criminal profiler, when it comes to the "nature vs. nurture" debate, "genetics loads the gun, personality and psychology aim it, and your experiences pull the trigger..."As a criminal profiler, it was his job to catch murderers, serial killers and rapists and pick up the slack where forensic evidence failed. Clemente explains how he went about his job tracking down some of the world's most dangerous people. Clemente is a retired FBI behavioural analyst and criminal profiler, and co-host of "‪@realcrimeprofile929‬ ," a true crime podcast distributed by Wondery.

They are three of the most infamous names in true crime history: Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the Menendez Brothers. From Gein's grave robberies and macabre trophies to Dahmer's horrific apartment crimes and the Menendez brothers' shocking family murder, these cases shattered any sense of normalcy and redefined what horror means in real life.Ed Gein's crimes inspired Hollywood's darkest creations, from Psycho to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and now he is the subject of a new Netflix series. Jeffrey Dahmer's story blurred the line between human and monster, while the Menendez brothers' trial exposed the disturbing mix of privilege, trauma, and violence that lurked behind a mansion's walls.This is night two of True Crime Recaps' Halloween Week, and the darkness is only getting deeper. We began with Richard Ramirez, but it all leads to our Halloween Day finale.Which case do you think Netflix should tackle next?

Few ideas have gripped the public imagination quite like the idea of the “psychopath.” From Hollywood thrillers to true-crime podcasts, popular culture has led us to believe that psychopaths are dangerous and biologically distinct from the rest of us. But what if almost everything we think we know about them is wrong?In this episode, we talk with Rasmus Rosenberg Larsen, an Assistant Professor of Forensic Epistemology at the University of Toronto and author of "Psychopathy Unmasked," whose research is challenging the very foundation of psychopathy as a diagnosis. Larsen explains how the term “psychopath” is relatively new, dating to the Ted Bundy trial in the 1970s, and how TVs and movies have skewed our understanding of the “psychopath.” He discusses psychopathy tests, their impact on the criminal justice system—and what the latest science reveals about the minds we've long misunderstood.

This week, “Monster: The Ed Gein Story” is the most watched show on Netflix. It's a dramatized retelling of the life of the serial killer who inspired “Psycho” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” The “Monster” franchise, which includes two earlier seasons about Jeffrey Dahmer and Lyle and Erik Menendez, is one of Netflix's splashiest hits – the Dahmer season is still the fourth-most viewed English language show in the history of the platform. And the true crime obsession only grows each year. On Netflix last year, 15 of the top 20 documentaries were true crime docs, compared to just six in 2020. But what does it mean for the subjects of these documentaries, that Americans endlessly crave stories about murder and bloodshed and terror? John J. Lennon is a contributing editor for Esquire and writes frequently for New York Review of Books and the New York Times. This week, he spoke to host Brooke Gladstone from Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he's serving his 24th year of his 28-year-to-life sentence for murder, drug sales, and gun possession. They spoke about his new book, The Tragedy of True Crime, what it was like to watch himself get featured in a true crime documentary, and why he wants to upend the typical 'true crime' narratives of good vs. evil.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Jeffrey Dahmer seemed quiet, even unassuming. But beneath the surface was a man consumed by violent desire. He didn't kill out of anger—he killed to satisfy a fantasy. Every detail was deliberate, from the way he lured his victims to the way he posed their bodies. Driven by arousal, obsession, and control, he found pleasure not just in death, but in what came after. With his ritualistic methods and fixation on domination, he's a textbook example of a hedonistic lust killer. Keep up with us on Instagram @serialkillerspodcast! Learn more about your ad choices.
