Thank you for coming back and listening to another episode of Killer Instinct.

As you guys can tell by the title of today's episode today, we are talking about a very interesting case, a case that's kind of unlike any that we've ever discovered before on here.

And today we are talking about the case of Kevin Cooper. Kevin Cooper is an alleged serial killer who is currently sitting on death row after he was convicted of the murders of the Ryan family as well as the Ryan family's neighbor Christopher Hughes.

Now what makes this case so interesting if you haven't heard about it before is because Kevin claims he is completely innocent on all counts and claims that he was actually framed for these murders.

And a lot of people believe him, a lot of people believe that the evidence does not line up and that Kevin was the easy target to point fingers at in this case.

But with that being said, I'm very interested to hear what you guys have to say about it. So let's jump right on into it. Kevin Cooper was born on January 8th, 1958.

And when he was born, his name was actually not Kevin Cooper. His birth name is actually Richard Goodman and he was born near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

When Kevin was two months old, Kevin's birth mother actually decided that she was not in the right place of her life to be the best mother to Kevin.

So she ended up placing him in an orphanage and just four months later when Kevin was six months old, he was adopted by a couple named Melvin and S. Thur Cooper.

And when Melvin and S. Thur adopted him, they renamed him Kevin Cooper.

Now, according to Kevin, he did not have the easiest upbringing by any means. He actually described his childhood as quote unquote abusive and troubled.

He was physically beaten by his adoptive parents so much that by the age of seven, he started running away from home to escape the treatment that he was getting at his house.
