Joseph Naso "The Double Initial Killer"

Emash Digital / Wondery
About this episode

In 2010, 76-year-old Joseph Naso was busted on a probation violation. During a search of his home, investigators uncovered boxes filled with incriminating pictures and journals. Also uncovered was what authorities have called Naso's "List of 10". All of this information pointed to the fact that Joe Naso had been a serial rapist for over 40 years and murdered a number of women in California over several decades.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the bizarre life and crimes of Joe Naso. He was a photographer with a penchant for women who wore nylons and heels. He used his photography, in some cases, to lure his victims. The majority of his murder victims had the same initial in both their first and last name. The pictures and journals found in his home suggest that he had many more victims than he was prosecuted for.
