    The World's Most Evil Killers: Todd Christopher Kohlepp

    The World's Most Evil Killers: Todd Christopher Kohlepp

    On November 3, 2016, authorities found 30 year old Kala Brown handcuffed to a pipe inside a storage container on property owned by popular local real estate agent Todd Kohlepp. Kohlepp had kept the missing woman as his prisoner for 65 days. A few hundred feet away, the authorities found the buried bodies of four other missing people--and they would soon discover that Kohlepp was also responsible for an unsolved quadruple homicide nearly two decades earlier. How had this monster stayed hidden in plain sight for so long? And how many other bodies would they find?

Love them but…

Great show, absolutely love their content..BUT it feels like over the years more and more is only on their patreon AND the remaining free content on the podcast is absolutely cluttered with a ton of ads. Hate to see it.

Very disappointed

Stop deleting peoples feedback for one. Take some accountability for two. These hosts are toxic bullies. They seem to think they’re doing more than police and investigators by doing a recap of documentaries. Gillian, you are a privileged white woman who grew up in a wealthy household so cool it with the know-it-all woke holiness. You went to private school and rich kid bars as a teen. Patrick how dare you be mean to Alaina because she prioritized her sick child over your hot mess of a fest. I like how in the most recent episode you said “if this was happening to my employee I’d do xyz” no you wouldn’t, you treat your staff like trash. Ya’ll have become exhausting and YES we know what you mean, you don’t have to say it ALL the time. I guess failure isn’t your option but your choice.

Bullies

Something just doesn’t sit right with me about how they bullied Sarah Edmondson from the Vow. They went after her relentlessly during their coverage of The Vow, and for many episodes after that. They also went so hard after Mark Vicente for saying that no one joins a cult, they join something they think is a good thing. Now Gillian says that all the time but never acknowledges how ruthless she was towards Mark for saying the same exact thing. To bully Sarah so hard core and then put on a series called Let The Women Do the Work, it just feels very performative. They owe both Sarah and Mark an apology at the least.
