Lesser-Known True Crime
Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy, Manson, and the rest can step aside!! These stories of violent crime are from off the beaten path a bit, stories you may not have heard before even if you binge true crime podcasts and docs like it's your job. I've started with ones I've read already but that will probably change soon so feel free to recommend! Any true stories about violent criminals, detectives and/or investigators, victims, or the criminal justice system in general are fair game ☺️
