About this episode

Why do some killers become household names, while others fade into obscurity — despite committing crimes just as horrifying? In this episode, we uncover the chilling story of Kim Dae-doo, South Korea’s first known serial killer. Unlike the infamous figures immortalized in films and crime blogs, Kim’s name barely registers today, even though he brutally murdered 17 people, including a 3-month-old baby, in a span of just under two months.
