Serial Killers & Murderous Minds · Oct 15, 2026 · 50m

By 1929, Peter Kürten had murdered at least eleven people across Düsseldorf, Germany, targeting women and children to satisfy a compulsion to see, hear, and taste blood. His reign of terror only ended when a surviving victim led police to his door, and his own wife delivered him to justice. This episode concludes the story of one of history's most disturbing serial killers, from his arrest and confession to his execution by guillotine in 1931.
