Summary

Sante Kimes spent her entire life reinventing herself—using charm, deception, and manipulation to get whatever she wanted. In Part 1, Killer Minds follows Sante’s troubled childhood, escalating cruelty, and decades-long career as a con artist who moved effortlessly between fraud, abuse, and exploitation. As her schemes grew bolder, so did her need for control—especially over her youngest son, Kenny. Vanessa Richardson and Dr. Tristin Engels break down how unresolved trauma, entitlement, and thrill-seeking paved the way for a criminal empire built on lies.
