Summary
Matthew Macon had a rough childhood and he, along with some of his siblings, were placed into foster care at an early age. Macon developed a pretty extensive juvenile record and spent time at a number of facilities for juvenile offenders. He committed his first sexual assault at the age of 14. He spent much of his adult life incarcerated, but during the times he was out, he murdered 7 women.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of Matthew Macon. He wanted people to think his murders were motivated by the need for money. But, his true motives came out in interviews when he said that he enjoyed watching his victim's faces as he exerted his power over them. A man named Claude McCollum was wrong convicted and later exonerated for one of Macon's murders and a home invasion could have prevented 5 of the murders.
