Summary

It's a brutal one. The episode we've all been waiting for, it's one of the worlds most infamous serial killers... Ted Bundy! Helen and Danni learn how he went from a respected law student - with charismatic charm and a delightful smile - to captivating America by brutally murdering at least thirty victims. There's a lot to unpack in this episode, including Ted's multiple prison escapes (HOW THOUGH?), and what might have gone wrong in his childhood for him to commit such horrific and vicious crimes.

Devils in The Dark contains details of graphic violence, murder and suicide. It is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
