***********Graphic Content Warning***************

Join Cam and Jen as we discuss Missouri's most heinous modern-day serial killer.  Bob Berdella preyed on young men that were down on their luck. Once they were in his grasp, they would be raped, tortured, and murdered.

Whether you know him as The Kansas City Butcher or The Collector, one thing is clear, Robert Berdella will still be one of the most sadistic serial killers that Cam and Jen have ever covered.
