Mindhunting with Sarah Weinman
"What is it about the culture that has conditioned us to favor the wants and needs and desires, however horrible, of a serial murderer, as opposed to--most often--the women and girls that they harmed and killed?" This week, Sarah Weinman takes us on a backpacking trip through true crime history and American pop culture, and tells us about the myths and realities of criminal profiling—and why they&aposre sometimes so hard to pull apart. And finally, we ask the ultimate taboo question: are serial killers boring?
