Description

"Killer Minds" takes you deep into the psychology of history’s most chilling murderers—from infamous serial killers to ruthless cult leaders, deadly exes, and terrifying spree killers. Every Monday and Thursday, hosts Vanessa Richardson and Dr. Tristin Engels, a clinical and forensic psychologist, blend gripping true crime storytelling with expert psychological analysis to uncover what drives people to kill.


From the calculated minds of serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy to crimes of passion and cold-blooded murders, "Killer Minds" goes beyond the headlines to explore the twisted psychology behind the crimes. What fuels their darkness? How do their minds work? And most hauntingly—could they have been stopped?


"Killer Minds" is a Crime House Studios original. New episodes drop every Monday and Thursday. Follow "Killer Minds" wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us at @KillerMinds on social media.

Mind of a Serial Killer is hands-down my favorite true crime podcast! I love how Vanessa’s storytelling pulls you in, and Dr. Tristin’s psychological insights add such a unique layer to understanding these cases. Every episode leaves me both fascinated and creeped out in the best way possible. They cover not just the infamous names but really dive deep into what makes them tick, which always has me coming back for more. If you’re into true crime with a psychological twist, this is a must-listen! Keep up the great work, Crime House Studios! https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/custom-packaging-provider-los-angeles-custom-packaging-los-angeles-gdn9f
