    May 26 2025
    Don’t be fooled by the nickname.
    Baby Face Nelson wasn’t just another gangster — he was a trigger-happy psychopath who even the FBI feared. Fast, furious, and always armed, Lester Gillis left behind a trail of dead agents, broken bank vaults, and bullet-riddled getaways. And yet, his story is rarely told in full… until now. 💥🧨🕵️ In this explosive series finale, we expose the real Baby Face: the unstable killer who outgunned John Dillinger, racked up more FBI kills than any other gangster, and died in a hail of bullets that turned him into a legend. From his manic heists to his blood-soaked shootout in Barrington, Illinois, this is the outlaw story that rips the mask off the myth and shows the monster underneath.

    He wasn’t a charming rebel. He was America’s most volatile outlaw. And this is his untold story.

  • Son of Sam: Destined to Kill — Inside the Mind of David Berkowitz
    May 26 2025
    Before the demon dog. Before the .44 caliber. There was David Berkowitz — a disturbed loner whose descent into madness ended with six murdered strangers and a terrified New York City. In this psychological exposé, we rewind to the roots of the Son of Sam and ask: Was he born to kill? 🐕📜🔫
    We uncover the isolation, childhood trauma, and apocalyptic visions that drove Berkowitz to murder — and how he spun a Satanic narrative that still baffles investigators today. With chilling letters, firsthand confessions, and interviews from the “Born to Kill” archives, this episode gets disturbingly close to a man who turned delusion into death.
    He didn’t want help. He wanted chaos.
