Episode 89: The Butcher Of Kansas Serial Killer (Case of Bob Berdella)
“Welcome to Bob’s Bazaar Bizarre” - the small shop for oddities from around the world. May Bob interest you in some genuine human skulls? Perhaps a shrunken head in a jar?
When you leave the shop’s bizarre environment you can’t help but wonder… that Bob guy is so strange…
And how does he even collect so many real human skulls? You can’t help but wonder what Bob does in his free time to enlarge his collection.
