By interviewing detectives, family members, forensic experts, and even some of the survivors, what makes a killer will give insight into the events that turned these people into cold, blooded killers.

What makes a killer contains graphic details of sexual assault and violence and is not intended

for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised. It's summer 1976 in the industrial town of Duseberg, West Germany. Jochenkroll is standing by his attic window, carefully scanning the playground below. He fixes his eyes upon a neighborhood girl, four-year-old Marion Ketter. A tingling feeling comes over him. He's attracted to the girl, and decides to kidnap her at the next opportunity. On July 3, Croll lures the girl back to his home.

There, he sexually abuses her and kills her. Days later, a team of detectives search for the missing girl. One of them is the young bird-yagers. When a four-year-old goes missing, the alarm bells go off everywhere. Of course, he used a lot of personnel to try and find this girl. He's meeting Sufim. As police go door to door questioning residents, a neighbor approaches them, visibly shaken.

He explains that the waste pipe in his apartment building is blocked up. When he asked Crowell, his upstairs neighbor, whether he knew the cause of the clogged pipe, Crowell gave a chilling response. Guts. The police confront Crowell immediately. And when we got there, other colleagues were already on the scene, and we then went inside the flat and experienced something terrible.

It's a scene of unspeakable horror. On the stove lay a human hand, simmering in a pot of water with carrots and potatoes, and inside the refrigerator. There was this girl, completely dismembered, upper arm, forearm, placed on corresponding shells, so that he only had to take something out and add it to the pan. That was some fathomable for us. In the plumbing authorities discover Kroll had not lied. There are internal organs clogging the pipes,

including the lungs of a small child. Well, I was shocked because I had a son who was not that much older. I had not been in the homicide division long only for two years. That was something where you had to more than just swallow. I have seen many things, but this was something completely new to me that a human being was able to do such a thing. For two decades, Joaquinkroll targeted women across West Germany, evading the authorities for years. Between the mid-1950s and the late 1970s, Jochenkroll confessed

to killing at least 14 people. The youngest was Mary and Ketter. The fact that he got away with this for so long, I think we should really ask ourselves a lot of questions. How does somebody like this go under the radar for that long? And while Kroll killed in stealth, innocent people were accused of his crimes. As he's in my ear, everyone kept saying he was the alleged child murderer, and that drove my father to his death.

This is what makes a killer, a 12-part series that chronicles the lives and crimes of the world's most notorious serial killers. I'm your host, Jennifer Natozo. In every episode will trace a killer's origins, examine their behavior, and follow their path to bloodshed. We'll speak with family members, survivors, and experts to uncover how they became killers. Airing October 31st will be releasing a new episode every week.

We bring to life some of the biggest controversies in U.S. history, presidential lies, environmental disasters, corporate fraud. In our newest series, we look at the Kids for Cash Scandal, a story about corruption inside America's system of juvenile justice. In Northeastern Pennsylvania, residents had begun noticing an alarming trend. Children were being sent away to jail in high numbers, and often for committing only minor offenses. The FBI began looking at two local judges, and when the full picture emerged, it made national headlines. The judges were earning a fortune, carrying out a brazen criminal scheme, one that would shatter the lives of countless

children and force a heated debate about punishment, an America's criminal justice system. Follow American scandal wherever you get your podcasts.
