About this episode

Wayne Adam Ford was a man that was battling a great deal of anger. This anger stemmed from what he saw as being abandoned by those in his life. Ford knew that he had some homicidal impulses in his head and checked himself into mental health facilities on multiple occasions. But he would not follow through with treatment and would ultimately descend into the darkness, becoming a serial killer.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the circumstances around the serial killer Wayne Adam Ford. What was it in his childhood that may have contributed to the monster that he would ultimately become? Who were the people in his life that in his mind had abandoned him causing so much rage to build up? Ford is unusual among serial killers in the fact that he was not caught by police, he turned himself in and would detail the reason behind giving himself up.
