🕵️‍♂️ Welcome to TheColdCases.com Podcast with host Dustin Terry, who holds a Master’s degree in Psychology. In this chilling one-hour episode, we journey into the disturbing world of serial killers and the psychological forces that drive their crimes.

What compels someone to commit repeated murders? From childhood trauma and psychopathy to obsession, ritual, and the need for control, Dustin breaks down the hidden psychology behind these murder stories. You’ll also learn about the different types of killers—visionary, mission-oriented, hedonistic, and power/control-driven—and uncover the truth behind common myths that cloud public understanding of real crime.
