Summary

Hi friends, happy Tuesday!

Friends... I often wonder what drives someone to cross every fricken line imaginable. Like where do we, as people, go wrong? It tends to be head trauma... but sometimes... It's other things that drive people to go off the deep end.

Well, in this episode, we dive into the chilling story of Marc Vincent Sappington, the Kansas City killer whose shocking crimes and disturbing acts of cannibalism left a community absolutely destroyed. Hopped up on drugs and paranoia, Marc's downward spiral turned deadly in ways no one could have seen coming. 

Today, I'm going to unpack Marc's life, what motivated him, and the terrifying chaos he unleashed. Sometimes these stories keep me up at night. This, my friends, is one of them.

Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon

podcast. Today's story is a podcast exclusive. Oh yes, that's right. Today's story is about a vampire.

0:15.3

Oh yes. This time it is about the Kansas City vampire.

0:21.3

His name is Mark Sappington.

0:23.5

Have you heard of him?

0:24.3

Now Mark is not the stereotypical vampire

0:26.9

that you tend to think of, you know?

0:29.5

I mean, many think of like a modern vampire as goth,

0:33.1

dressing in dark clothing,

0:34.9

maybe they're wearing like spooky makeup. Or maybe they like do some blood

0:39.9

rituals. Because like if there's no blood involved in some way, are you even really a vampire?

during their sermons and would say that you didn't have to go very far outside the church

1:25.2

parking lot to experience hell. Kansas City at this time was going through a massive crime spree, and nothing the cops did seemed to make a dent in lowering the crime rate.

1:35.3
