    The Serial Confessor: Gerald Eugene Stano

    This week is a new serial killer i've never heard of! Well, maybe. There's a lot of interesting things going on in this story. Paul Zeininger, or Gerald Eugene Stano as he's later called, confessed to over 40 murders of young women, but is he really guilty of everything he's been accused of or confessed to? Let's go over everything i've found and see what we can figure out!

If you aren't familiar, this is where I tell 3 separate crazy stories that have nothing to do with each other and it's just a fun time!
