Serial Killer Countdown

By CJM

In this new true crime podcast, I profile a different serial killer in every episode, starting with the worst of the worst and slowly making his way down the list.

Topics of each episode include who the killer or killers were, what they did, how they did it, and how they got away with it for so long.

In this sixth episode of the new true crime podcast Serial Killer Countdown, I profile yet another serial killer from the South American region, who is actually quite different than the killers I've been talking about recently. Known as The Matador, and The Brazilian Dexter, Pedro Filho is a man who made it his mission to kill fellow criminals.

Episode 4: The Werewolf

Episode 4: The Werewolf

In this fourth episode of the new true crime podcast Serial Killer Countdown, I profile a serial killer that is very disturbing to me, because he was basically just curious what it felt like to murder someone. He didn't really have a reason. This man's name is Mikhail Popkov, also known as The Werewolf. I talk about how he used his profession as a shield to get away with most of his murders for over two decades, and how he was finally caught due to the advent of DNA technology.
