Welcome to the serial killer podcast.

The podcast dedicated to serial killers, episode 118.

I am your Norwegian host, Thomas Viborg Thun.

As the coronavirus spreads its tentacles across the western world,

I sit here in my home office typing up tales of humanity's underbelly.

As I've said in previous episodes, it is important to have things to keep one's mind off how awful our world is at the moment.

And the serial killer podcast is my humble contribution to that.

And so it is that I hope you, Darlisna, stay safe,

while hopefully enjoying listening to me tell you another dark tale of serial murder.

Our subject tonight is a contemporary one.

His spread terror, sorrow and death over many years until his final capture just over three years ago in August of 2016.

As you might know, modern serial killers tend to not be given nicknames by the press anymore.

Perhaps the journalists have come to the realization that giving killers nicknames feeds their ego and spurs them on to even dark acts of depravity.

Gone are the days of son of Sam, the zodiac killer and Jack the Ripper.

Our murderer has only been known as his given name, Todd Christopher Colep,

and he raped, tortured and murdered at least seven human beings.

This is his saga. Enjoy.
