0:00.0	Hi everyone I hope you're all doing well and welcome back to episode number 10 of the Criminal
0:16.4	Makeup Podcast.
0:18.0	Each episode we dive into the minds of some of the worst criminals in history and today we're going to be talking about the case of
0:25.0	Nico Jenkins. So Nico Jenkins, where do I even begin? Now the first thing I should say about
0:32.0	Nico Jenkins is that there seems to be a little bit of a weird fascination with him because when I started researching this case I was coming across YouTube videos that had 50 plus million views.
0:45.8	And 50 plus million views on one video is obviously absolutely crazy.
0:51.9	But there are quite a few videos on Nico Jenkins that do just

2:11.1	completely different from the first source and then I did a bit more digging and I was like oh my God how is this not mentioned in the other sources in the other videos and that was the thing with this case the more more I was digging into it, the more sources I found,

2:29.9	did frustrate me.
2:31.1	And then I ended up stumbling across the court documents which gave more of
