    Andrei Chikatilo: The Real Citizen X - The Rostov Ripper PART 1

    For twelve years, Citizen X had been a ghost, haunting the railway lines and forest strips of the USSR. The state insisted that serial killers were a "capitalist disease" that didn't exist in their perfect society, and that denial gave Andrei Chikatilo exactly what he needed: a license to kill over fifty people while the world looked the other way. Today, we’re peeling back the iron curtain to look at the real Citizen X—the Rostov Ripper. Some content is graphic in nature, and listener discretion is advised. Each episode is created with deep respect for the victims, their families, and their loved ones.

    Kovács Péter - The Monster of Martfű And the Man Who Served 11 Years for a Crime He Didn't Commit

    "How do you catch a monster when he looks exactly like a 'model citizen'? In the socialist era of the 1960s, serial killers weren't supposed to exist. They were considered a 'Western disease.' So when women started disappearing near a quiet shoe factory town, the authorities did the unthinkable: they picked a name, forced a confession, and closed the books. But while the government congratulated itself, the real Monster of Martfű was busy raising a family, going to work, and planning his next strike. Grab a drink—we need to talk about Péter Kovács."

    Pista Pipás -The Coldblooded Crossdressing Assassin of Hungary

    - There is a business, you could earn a little money... - What kind of business is it? - A woman's husband should be hanged. With this conversation, Pipás Pista's bitter story began. Perhaps no other murderer has inspired as many stories and disinformation as Pipás Pista. Even if we try to locate the truth beneath the layers of fairy tales that have accumulated over the years, we cannot guarantee that we will find all of it. However, one thing is certain: Pipás Pista has a special place in Hungarian criminal history. He was the first transsexual murderer, having lived as a man in the farm world around Szeged for a century before being sentenced to death in April 1933 for the murder of two men.
