Summary

Dennis is the flatmate you'd never want to have. Allison's been working on gathering details on Dennis Nilsen for a few weeks now. This guy could have gotten away with a lot more murders had he not been forced from his lair. He murdered at least twelve young men and boys between 1978 and 1983 in London, and this is the story.

    Hello there. Thank you for coming back to another episode of Crime and Coffee. My name's Allison.

    0:09.5

    And my name's Mike. And we're here. Yeah. Hey, we're here to throw some more disgusting details of murder and mayhem and mischief and less mischief, more horribleness and darkness.

    0:21.3

    If you're here for darkness and a good, you know, story about death and murder, then you

    0:27.1

    came to the right place.

    0:28.2

    Has it affected your sleep at all?

    0:30.1

    No, like I thought that it would.

    0:32.4

    Because, you know, to catch our listeners up, I'm kind of a rookie to these whole true

    0:35.9

    crime things.

    0:37.4

    And yeah, no, no. I, luckily I can compartmentalize it, you. I'm kind of a rookie to these whole true crime things.

    0:42.7

    And yeah, no, no. I, luckily I can compartmentalize it, you know, and kind of leave it just in while we talk about it and then what I'm researching, obviously. And it's really fun to research

    0:46.7

    1:04.3

    Yeah, you get a lot more from the documentary because oftentimes they're interviewing somebody

    1:08.2

    that's directly related to the case and affected by this person.

    1:12.4

    Yeah.

    1:12.5

    Or somebody who has interviewed all of these different people that is like an expert in the case.

    1:18.4

    It's funny, though, how different sources give you different information, like years, different, ages, different things like that.
