The Launch of Mind of a Serial Killer: A Gripping New Podcast Series
Coinciding with the release of Crime House+, Crime House, in collaboration with PAVE Studios, has also launched its latest true crime series, Mind of a Serial Killer. This podcast is set to be a game-changer in the true crime genre, blending storytelling with expert psychological analysis to unravel the minds of some of history’s most dangerous criminals.
Unpacking the Psyche of Infamous Killers
Mind of a Serial Killer doesn’t just recount the gruesome details of infamous crimes. Instead, it seeks to answer the question that haunts criminologists, psychologists, and true crime enthusiasts alike: What makes a serial killer?
Hosted by Dr. Tristin Engels, a licensed Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, and Vanessa Richardson, former host of Parcast’s popular podcast Serial Killers, the series delves into the dark psychological forces that drive some individuals to commit such heinous acts.
The podcast will focus on notorious figures like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and other historical serial killers. However, the series goes beyond their crimes to explore the psychological trauma, mental health issues, and environmental factors that may have shaped their violent tendencies.
The Jeffrey Dahmer Case: A Four-Part Series
The debut of Mind of a Serial Killer begins with a chilling four-part episode focused on Jeffrey Dahmer. Known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, Dahmer’s story is one of the most disturbing in modern crime history. But this podcast goes beyond the headlines and documentaries to explore the psychological profile of the man behind the atrocities.
Episode Breakdown:
- Troubled Beginnings: The series starts by analyzing Dahmer’s troubled childhood, which was marked by feelings of isolation and abandonment. Early warning signs, such as his fascination with death and dismemberment, are examined through the lens of psychology.
- The Descent into Darkness: The second episode delves into Dahmer’s progression from fantasy to reality. It dissects how his escalating mental health struggles, combined with external stressors, led him down a path of increasingly violent acts.
- The Height of Horror: Episode three offers a detailed account of Dahmer’s most heinous crimes. The hosts discuss his methods, his need for control over his victims, and the disturbing nature of his crimes, including cannibalism and necrophilia.
- The Downfall: The final episode in the series traces Dahmer’s capture, his psychological evaluation, and the eventual court trial. It also explores his time in prison and the psychological toll that his crimes—and their consequences—had on him.
Throughout this four-part series, listeners will gain expert insights into Dahmer’s psyche, thanks to Dr. Engels’ forensic expertise and Richardson’s compelling narration.
The Perfect Blend of Storytelling and Psychological Analysis
What sets Mind of a Serial Killer apart from other true crime podcasts is its unique approach. It doesn’t simply recount the grisly details of the crimes but seeks to understand the psychological factors that motivated these individuals to commit such unimaginable acts.
Listeners can expect:
- Expert psychological insights: Dr. Tristin Engels provides a clinical perspective on the mental health issues and psychological factors that may have influenced these killers.
- Compelling storytelling: Vanessa Richardson’s narrative style keeps listeners engaged, seamlessly blending factual accuracy with emotional depth.
- Educational value: The podcast is not only entertaining but also informative, giving listeners a deeper understanding of criminal psychology.
Release Schedule and Availability
Mind of a Serial Killer is available starting today, October 7th. New episodes will be released every Monday across all major podcast platforms, ensuring that fans of the series won’t have to wait long between episodes.
For Crime House+ subscribers, there’s even more to look forward to:
- Early access to episodes: Subscribers can listen to episodes a week before they are released to the general public.

Why True Crime Remains So Popular
The true crime genre has exploded in popularity over the past decade, and podcasts have played a significant role in this growth. The combination of real-life horror stories and psychological exploration captivates audiences worldwide, but what is it about these stories that resonates so deeply with listeners?
Psychological Curiosity
People are inherently curious about the human mind, especially when it comes to understanding abnormal behavior. The minds of serial killers, in particular, offer a rare glimpse into the extreme fringes of human psychology. True crime podcasts like Mind of a Serial Killer satisfy this curiosity by not only recounting the events but also analyzing the “why” behind the crimes.
Empathy and Safety
True crime also allows listeners to engage with the horror of these stories from a safe distance. It taps into our fear of the unknown while also giving us the tools to better understand the dangers that exist in the world.
Storytelling
At its core, true crime is about storytelling. Well-told crime stories—especially when paired with expert analysis—offer a narrative structure that keeps listeners hooked from start to finish. With Crime House+ and Mind of a Serial Killer, Crime House elevates this storytelling to new heights, offering both entertainment and education for its audience.
What’s Next for Crime House?
Following the success of Mind of a Serial Killer, Crime House is already working on its next big release. The company has hinted at exploring other high-profile criminal cases, and with the success of their partnership with PAVE Studios, more collaborative projects are expected to follow.
Crime House+ is also expected to grow, with plans to introduce more exclusive content in the coming months. True crime fans can expect more in-depth psychological explorations, ad-free content, and early access to upcoming series.
