Summary
A troubled childhood, a violent ideology, and a crime that left a nation in shock. In this episode, we break down the life and crimes of Dylann Roof—the warning signs everyone missed, the radicalization that fueled his actions, and the system failures that let it happen. From his chaotic upbringing to his growing obsession with hate-fueled conspiracy theories, we trace how an isolated young man turned into a mass murderer. With exclusive insights into his background, digital footprint, and the investigation that followed, this is the full story of how Dylann Roof went from internet-fueled extremist to the first person in U.S. history to face both state and federal death penalty charges at the same time.
