Hi everyone, welcome back. I hope you're all doing so well. I hope you've all had a good week.

0:05.4

So today we're going to be doing a serial killer and I don't do many serial killers actually.

0:10.2

I feel like maybe I should do more than I do. But I don't know about any of you guys,

0:13.6

but when I think of serial killers, I think of the 70s, 80s, maybe the 90s. I don't really

0:19.5

think about serial killers in modern times, like recent times.

0:23.6

But that is exactly what we're going to do today. We're going to do a modern day serial killer.

0:27.7

And today we're going to be covering the case of Sean Great. And Sean's killing spree didn't come to an end until 2016.

0:40.4

and most prolific serial killers in recent times. Sean really is that typical textbook serial

1:22.6

Right, and she kind of just like, wag my hands like started flipping out and stuff like that to the point.

1:29.3

Or I had to just like grab her and I'll just lean forward and just rest.

1:35.1

So that is what we're going to be covering today. Today's story is a little bit complicated at times.

1:42.0

So I'm going to try and make it as simple as possible, but we have a lot to

get through, so let's just jump in. Sean Great was born on the 8th of August, 1976, making him a Leo.

1:51.9
