Reddit’s Craziest Serial Killer Encounters

November 4, 2026 · 55 min

Show notes

Most people will never knowingly meet a serial killer. The people in these Reddit stories did, and only realized how close they came when a familiar face showed up on the evening news…

Alexis Linkletter and Sabrina Deana-Roga swap four real-life brushes with serial killers from Reddit, hearing each story for the first time, and they're joined by a special guest, SNOOK, for one of them. A charming stranger asks a woman and her niece to meet him under a bridge at 2am, a mother at a remote garbage station locks eyes with a man who would become one of Sweden's most notorious killers, a survivor of the Beauty Queen Killer answers Reddit's questions, and a hitchhiker realizes too late that his friendly driver is heading the wrong way.

Content Warning: This episode covers murder, sexual assault and crimes against children. Please listen with care.
