In this episode, Ali and Sarah talk through the life and crimes of Ed Kemper, aka the Co Ed Killer. In the 1970s Kemper murdered 6 young women who he had picked up hitchhiking on the roads close to his home. After killing them he took their bodies back to his house which he shared with his mother and decapitated and dismembered them. He also did unspeakable things to and with the bodies and the heads of his victims.

After this 6 victim spree of murders Kemper was only caught after he murdered his own mother and her best friend, then turned himself in. Before all of this though Kemper had murdered both of his grandparents at the age of 15 and was committed to a mental hospital.

Ali and Sarah look at all of Kemper's crimes and what they think might have motivated such unthinkable acts of violence. They also discus how a man like Kemper who had murdered his grandparents in cold blood could have been not only released from Psychiatric Care, but also had hisjuvenile criminal record expunged.
