Are some people just born evil?

It's a question of various psychologists, philosophers, academic researchers, members of law enforcement, the judicial system, and just regular old schmucks like me have long pondered.

Is an individual's criminal behavior more influenced by their genetics or their circumstance?

The classic nature versus nurture debate.

And we're going to revisit that debate today.

Serial killer Terry Blair, the prospect killer, certainly got me thinking about it again.

I've never come across a serial killer with more other killers and they're immediate family than this guy, at least not in modern times.

Terry's crimes were definitely influenced by his upbringing. The only question is how much?

Terry Blair was charged with the murders of eight women after being caught in September of 2004.

And shortly before he was caught, he just been released from prison on parole after serving 21 years for killing the mother of his two children.

In 2004, the Kansas City police found six women's bodies in a band in or hidden places around prospect avenue and high crime, a high crime area and torres for sex work.

The women had been there for several days to several weeks in some cases based on the state of their remains.

Their bodies concealed from view hidden in difficult to find locations and it appeared that they had been strangled.

It was clear that a serial killer was on the loose for a brief period.

Residents around the area of prospect avenue where the bodies were found lived in terror more terror than normal.

This neighborhood already riddled with crime. They waited for another woman to be found dead.

And then Terry Blair was arrested for murder again. There was two other bodies associated with his killings and he was far from the first Blair to be arrested for murder in Kansas City.

He was just one of many murderers from the same family tree.

It's crazy how many times he and his relatives in Kansas City all from the prospect avenue neighborhood it seemed to have been arrested for and convicted of committing violent crimes.

Based on his family history, it seemed like Terry was destined to spend most of his life in prison, which is exactly what he's done.

This week we'll discuss the life and crimes of Terry Blair as well as the many crimes of his family, follow the investigation that led to the capture of the prospect killer, Terry Blair, and more.

On another true crime, serial killer are some of us born almost doomed to become a killer addition of time suck.
