Edmund Kemper III: The Co-ed Killer (Part 2)

00:00

53:31

We're back, True Crime Coven... and it only gets worse.

In Part 2, we unravel the final four murders that earned Ed Kemper the nickname "The Co-Ed Killer." We'll examine his chilling escalation, the motives that may have fueled his crimes, the body language displayed during his interviews, and the psychology that continues to fascinate criminal profilers decades later.

Was Edmund Kemper the product of a deeply troubled upbringing, or was he born a master manipulator? What created this monster?

Join me as we explore the final chapter of one of America's most infamous serial killers.

Listener discretion is advised.
