He was a seemingly mild-mannered husband, father, and businessman...but behind the screen, John Edward Robinson was luring women online, manipulating them with fake job offers and BDSM contracts, and ultimately murdering them. Dubbed “the Internet’s first serial killer,” Robinson used early chatrooms and dating sites to hunt for victims long before digital crimes were common. In this episode, we walk through his disturbing double life and explore how his Capricorn Sun and Moon, and Scorpio Venus and Rising, created a blueprint for control, deception, and domination.
