HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Thanksgiving Murders Pt. 1 with Carter Roy
Thanksgiving is meant for gratitude — but sometimes, it brings out the darkest parts of the human mind.
In this chilling special, the Killer Minds team, joined by Murder: True Crime Stories host Carter Roy, examines two Thanksgiving tragedies: the 2009 Merhige family massacre, when a Florida man opened fire on his relatives after years of mental decline and resentment, and the gruesome murder of Bill Nelson by his wife, Omaima, whose fairytale romance turned into one of California’s most shocking crimes.
A study of obsession, rage, and the deadly side of family gatherings.

SERIAL KILLER: "BTK" Pt. 2
For more than 30 years, Dennis Rader terrorized Wichita, Kansas — living a double life as a devoted husband, church leader, and Scoutmaster by day, and a sadistic killer by night.
As he taunted police and played a deadly game of cat and mouse, Rader’s arrogance would ultimately become his undoing.
In this shocking conclusion, Vanessa and Dr. Engels break down the psychology of a man driven by control, secrecy, and a need for fame — and the digital mistake that finally ended his reign as the BTK Killer.
