Jack Underweger, the murder poet

In 1990, a convicted murderer walked out of an Austrian prison to a hero's welcome — celebrated by novelists, praised by a future Nobel laureate, held up as proof that even a killer could be remade into an artist. Five months later, women started disappearing again.This episode traces the double life of Jack Unterweger: the "Poet of Death" who charmed Austria's literary elite, worked as a journalist covering the very murders he was committing, and left a trail of victims across four countries before a single, distinctive knot finally connected all of it back to him. We're telling this one the way it should have been told the first time — with the women at the center of it, not the man who got the bestseller.🔞 Discussion of violent crime, sexual assault, and murder.
