Dina kicks things off this episode with her account of a truly eerie experience at a sketchy "estate sale" that felt ripped straight from a horror movie. We also break down the latest updates in the Menendez brothers’ case and how a newly appointed Los Angeles County DA is likely going to make their fight for freedom a lot harder. The seemingly suspicious death of legendary actor Gene Hackman, and a potential breakthrough in the Jack the Ripper mystery also have us scratching our heads.

Through case studies of infamous figures like Ted Bundy and Richard Ramirez, we explore the psychological motivations behind this fascination, the allure of danger, and the often tragic consequences of such relationships. We also examine the blurred lines between fantasy and reality, the delusions that can accompany these attractions, and the societal implications of romanticizing violent offenders.

After the murders, Lyle and Erik spent lavishly, using their parents' money, which raised suspicion. In 1990, Erik confessed to his therapist, Dr. Oziel, which ultimately led to their arrest. The defense team, led by Leslie Abramson, argued that the brothers killed their parents out of fear for their lives after years of abuse.
