About this episode

Charles Albright was adopted at an early age by a husband and wife in Dallas, Texas. His adoptive mother, Delle Albright, was thought by some to be odd, and she was extremely controlling. She also enrolled Charles in a mail-order taxidermy course at a young age. It was during his years honing his taxidermy skills that he displayed a fascination with eyes.

Join Mike and Gibby as they talk about "The Eyeball Killer" Charles Albright. He is thought to have killed at least four women. Charles was known to visit sex workers frequently, and when three of them turned up dead in the early 1990s, police knew they had a serial killer on their hands. This serial killer had a very unique signature in that he removed the eyeballs of his victims from their sockets. The police finally zeroed in on Charles Albright, but the evidence against him was mostly circumstantial.
