Hey guys. This week we have a truly infamous and wild case for you all. We will be talking about Fred and Rosemary West, who were probably one of the absolute worst serial killing couples in history. In part one we will be talking about where they came from, their respective childhoods, and the absolute horrors they faced growing up from the people who were supposed to be caring for them. These two humans are the perfect example of nature vs. nurture and seriously make you ask the question: Can someone be born a monster or are they made that way? Part two will be dropping next week so stay tuned!
The amazing book I read for this case:
(I have to apologize to Howard because I called him "Howard Hounes" at least twice during the recording...I think I was thinking about Howard Hughs... Sorry Howard!)
