Show notes

The killer next door. This episode examines how an outwardly ordinary man was able to harbour violent fantasy, target vulnerable victims, and commit brutal murders while appearing normal to those around him. We explore hidden offenders, fantasy life, rage, victim selection, and the psychology of dangerous people who hide in plain sight. Follow Profiler Africa on Spotify for weekly South African true crime and psychology episodes. Support the show: 👉 https://buymeacoffee.com/profiler #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #Psychology #SouthAfrica
