Episode Description from the Publisher

Some crimes are forgivable.  Some are not.  Some crimes are not only unforgivable but also change the lives of everyone around them.   So set the table, my spooky friends.  Today, you are going to hear the tale of a man who redefined evil.  But before we get started, I want to give you all a heads up.  Today we will be talking about sexual violence, graphic murders, child abuse, self-harm, graphic torture and cannibalism.  Listener discretion is advised.
