About this listen

On May 23, 2014, the quiet college town of Isla Vista, California, was shattered by a calculated killing spree that left six innocent victims dead and over a dozen injured. At the center of the violence was 22-year-old Elliot Rodger, whose chilling manifesto and disturbing online presence would soon make headlines worldwide.

In this episode, we dive deep into the life and mind of Elliot Rodger—exploring his upbringing, his descent into hatred and isolation, and the warning signs that were missed. We'll examine the timeline of events leading up to the massacre, the psychological factors behind his actions, and the lasting impact of his crimes on victims’ families and society at large.

This is not just the story of a killer—it's a case study in misogyny, mental health failure, and the dark side of internet culture.
