Criminals Minds or Copycat Crimes?

What happens when fiction cuts too close to reality?

In this chilling episode of Mysteries, Mayhem & Merlot, we explore how the cult-favorite TV series Dexter—a show about a blood-spatter analyst who moonlights as a vigilante serial killer—inspired real-life murders. From the infamous “Dexter Killer” Mark Twitchell to the shocking crimes of Bryan Kohberger, the accused Idaho murderer and criminology student, we dive deep into the psychology behind these twisted copycats.

With Dexter: Resurrection reigniting fan obsession, we're asking the big questions: Can pop culture influence violent behavior? Where does admiration for a fictional character cross the line into dangerous territory? And how eerily close are Kohberger’s alleged actions to Dexter Morgan’s calculated code?
