74. Spree Killer Couples

 

The doctors bring you the most comprehensive and current research on spree killers, including new typologies recently developed in 2020. They cover the vintage infamous case of Bonnie & Clyde and a recent case of a romantically linked spree killing couples that terrorized two states earlier this year in the US.
