Join us as we unpack his chilling journey from a nightmarish childhood and untreated psychosis to the city-wide panic that erupted after his gruesome crimes, as we also explore how systemic psychiatric failures and missed warning signs led to the tragic descent into violence that would haunt criminal psychology forever.
