'The Co-ed Butcher' - Edmund Kemper | Born To Kill? | Our Life

Video Description

When body parts began washing up on the beaches of a peaceful Californian seaside town, police realised that someone was hunting, abducting, murdering and dismembering college-educated girls. What they didn't realise was, the killer was in their midst, drinking with them at their favourite local bar. Cops considered the 6'9'' Edmund Kemper a 'gentle giant', but little did they know that as a teenager, he'd murdered his grandparents, he'd fooled psychiatrists into releasing him from a secure hospital after just five years, and while he was socialising with police officers, he was living out his bizarre sexual fantasies with the corpses of young co-eds. Edmund Kemper would kill and dismember six young college girls before turning on his mother and her best friend. Was his mind twisted by his upbringing in a broken home and his volatile relationship with a domineering mother? Or was 'The Co-ed Butcher' born to kill?
