Our favorite stories are the most heinous of crimes, beyond the most terrifying scenarios we could ever possibly imagine. Why do we love these criminal tales? Why do the stories so entice us? It’s hard to say if we’re titillated or looking to educate ourselves on all the horrible things humanity has to offer. Maybe it’s both.
From cults to rapes to ritual killings and even financial, and other crimes, there is no shortage to the depravity or suffering human beings are willing to inflict on unsuspecting victims.
We are more than happy to consume endless content on cold cases or old cases, hoping a latent print, ballistics, or Locard’s exchange principle might solve a crime, and content to listen regardless.
The list of our perverse interests is endless: Caylee Anthony, OJ Simpson, Richard Ramirez, John Wayne Gayce, Natalee Holloway, the Cheshire Home Invasion Murders, Dennis Nilsen, JonBenét Ramsey, Ed Gein, even the Lindbergh kidnapping still haunts the American mind.
With that in mind here are the five best YouTube channels on True Crime, in no particular order, though we did save the best for last, Murder Pop’s own Viktoria Evans.
