Episode 145: Robin Gecht and the Chicago Ripper Crew Part One

Today we bring you one of the most bizarre and gruesome tales from the heyday of American crime, a devil-worshipping cult of cannibalistic, necrophiliac serial killers, like something from a nightmare or horror movie, who roamed the streets of Chicago in a death van snatching completely random victims.

Prepare yourselves for the story of the horrible, cold-blooded and terrifying, Robin Gecht and his Chicago Ripper Crew.

Listener discretion is advised.
