Summary

This week, we dive into a very specific sexual paraphilia, often associated with serial murder cases. We lay out the foundational research and see how it has been analyzed in case studies, dating back to the 1700's. We also discuss the London Monster, the Whitechapel Murders, and more recent cases, including whether or not we think piquerism fits with the Idaho 4 case.
