An exploration of the psychological underpinnings of serial killers to better understand their specific frame of mind and psychology.
Sexual Sadists
S1 E1
Sexual sadists are addicted to the thrill of inflicting pain before killing their victims; an analysis contrasts the psyches of David Parker Ray, the Toy Box Killer, and Dennis Rader, the BTK Strangler.
Angels of Death
S1 E3
A shockingly common breed of serial killer: doctors and nurses who kill patients; serial killer and physician Dr. Harold Shipman murders more than 200 victims.
These are serial killers who work as a team; monsters who feed off each other's warped psyches to commit murders they never would have carried out on their own.
