| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing so well and welcome back to the Criminal Maker podcast. |
| 0:15.4 | Each episode we dive into the minds of some of the worst criminals in history and today |
| 0:20.6 | we're going to be talking about the case of Dawson McGee. So Halloween is approaching, |
| 0:25.0 | we're not that far away now and I wanted to bring you this case on the podcast today because |
| 0:29.4 | it definitely has a significant connection to Halloween and that's because Dawson McGee was |
| 0:35.0 | arrested and charged with murder on Halloween of 2011. But not only that Dawson had a pretty |
| 0:42.4 | disturbing obsession with Halloween masks. So this case definitely has a significant Halloween |
| 0:48.5 | connection but it's not the only reason why this case is infamous. It also became well known |
| 0:54.4 | for the absolutely bizarre behaviour that Dawson displayed during his police interview. |
| 1:01.2 | Now when I covered this case on YouTube I was able to insert some video clips of Dawson showing |
| 1:06.4 | this behaviour which obviously I can't do on the podcast. So I highly recommend at some point |

| 1:23.8 | You just have to see it for yourself. But anyway let's get into the case of Dawson McGee and all |
| 1:29.6 | of his strange behaviour. This case is probably the most known like not for the Halloween aspect. It |
| 1:42.6 | just so happened to happen on Halloween. It's most known for Dawson's bizarre behaviour in the police |
| 1:49.9 | interview. Dawson was unaware that he was being filmed by a hidden camera and you can see Dawson's |
| 1:55.2 | behaviour change like all of a sudden when a detective enters the room but also when the detective |
| 2:01.0 | leaves the room. You can see Dawson's behaviour changes immediately. You can see with your own eyes |
| 2:07.0 | it's really bizarre. I don't think I've actually ever seen somebody fake symptoms like that before |
| 2:12.8 | but we're going to get into all of that today. Dawson McGee was born on the 30th of August |
| 2:18.4 | 1985. Yes, another Virgo. I know. I can't believe it. So many Virgos on this channel. He was born |
