WONDERY | TREEFORT MEDIA
About this episode

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong digs into the case of Matthew Milat. In his early teen years, Matthew harbored an unhealthy obsession with his uncle -- Ivan Milat, the notorious "Backpack Murderer" of Australia. In 2010, Matthew decided to follow in Ivan's footsteps by killing his own friend. Candice explores Matthew's descent into idolizing his murderous uncle, and how a seemingly normal teenager turned into a cold-blooded killer.
