Severed | True Crime Podcast

We analyze John List’s five-page letter to Pastor Eugene A. Rehwinkel. This evolves into a discussion of List’s narcissism and sociopathic behavior, and whether there was a potential link to the Westfield Watcher case; a mere 6-minute drive between the notorious houses. The episode concludes with a humorous take on the film, A Killer Next Door (2020), based on the John List murders. 


CW/TW: This episode contains descriptions of family annihilation; graphic imagery and details of the crimes are discussed. Listener discretion is advised.
