For more than 20 years, Joachim Kroll lived an unassuming life in Germany while a trail of murdered women and children followed in his wake.
Kroll would ultimately be convicted of eight murders, but his confessions suggested there may have been many more victims. In this episode we explore Joachim Kroll's crimes, the investigation that finally exposed him, and the unanswered questions that remain surrounding his decades-long killing spree.
Warning: This episode contains discussions of murder, violence, child victims, sexual violence, dismemberment, and cannibalism. Listener discretion is advised.
