From the publisher
Welcome to Voices of a Killer, the stories from the perspective of a person who has taken the life of another human. Through exclusive interviews with those behind bars, we aim to shed light on the darkest corners of the human psyche. Each episode, we journey deep into the minds of those involved, peeling back the layers of their motives and unraveling the chilling details of their crimes. You will see, although these are people we are programmed to hate, they all have something in common, they are all humans like us, that admit that they made a mistake. Will you condemn them or will you forgive them?Voices of a Killer is sponsored by BetterHelp: Visit BetterHelp.com/VOK today to get 10% off your first month 👈voicesofakiller.comwww.patreon.com/voicesofakiller Hosted on Acast.
