Summary

This episode of the Strange Matters Podcast starts a new series, highlighting brutal and psychotic serial killers from around the world. The purpose of this series is to dispel the common conception that the United States has both the highest number along with the worst serial killers in the world, while at the same time presenting and educating listeners of murderers that aren’t quite as well known as the popular and infamous American killers.
In this entry episode to the series, Sean presents and discusses four serial killers from different countries in Europe. Each of these men carried out terrible crimes without showing any remorse or guilt. Ranging from a reclusive potential cannibal, to a hammer wielding maniac, to a cold blooded ‘Terminator’ known for wiping out entire families, these men are some of the most horrific and notorious serial killers of all time.
During this episode Sean discusses the lives, crimes, and lasting legacies of each of these terrible killers.

1:02.0	killers.
1:04.0	Now of course the most famous serial killers all seem to be American.
1:08.0	I've seen countless comments and statements online made by people from across the world talking about how the US has so many serial
1:14.6	killers compared to everyone else.
1:16.6	In fact, if you were to ask the average person in the civilized world to name the most serial
1:20.3	curl they could think of, I'd wager most of them would probably state one of the well-known
1:24.7	American murders like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gasey.
1:29.6	Now you might get a few responses of killers from outside the U. like of course the infamous Jack the Ripper, or the Russian psycho Andre Chikatolo.
1:38.0	And preparing for this episode, I did a simple Google Image Search with the phrase serial killers and was surprised with how far
