About this listen
In this gripping episode, we explore two of history's most infamous criminal duos—Leopold and Loeb, the privileged prodigies who committed a shocking "thrill kill" in 1924, and Bonnie and Clyde, the Depression-era lovers whose crime spree captivated and terrified the nation. What drove these pairs to such extremes? How did their relationships fuel their descent into violence? Join us as we unravel the psychology, passion, and notoriety behind these deadly partnerships—and the legacies they left behind.
