  • Eh

    I can’t get past the second episode. I like the narrator’s voice but the speech pattern is … the whole thing is like one run-on sentence. It gets better in the second episode but the pace is still weird.

    This is one of the best in the genre. I like how the hosts work with families of the victims, and don’t sensationalize. The show brings awareness to disappearances and murders that may not get much attention otherwise.

  • The voice…

    The narration is terrible. It is like she is reading a poem - half whispering, up & down in tone.

Killer Data: Serial Killers in the Modern Age
Q: Can you talk about why Killer Data, your book, is needed in regard to how data on serial killers has been gathered in the past?
Enzo explains that the past researchers mainly based their ideas on a very limited number of case studies, which resulted in persistent myths and stereotypes about serial murderers that need to be debunked with comprehensive data.
Killer Data: Serial Killers in the Modern Age, Part 2
Q: What are your views on the decline of serial murder?
Yaksic explains that the decline is being overlooked due to various misconceptions and an overwhelming focus on sensationalized true crime narratives.
Killer Data: Serial Killers in the Modern Age, Part 2

Q: Is there any remaining evidence that you feel like might be resubmitted as there are advances in forensic science?
