Fritz Haarmann: The Butcher of Hanover Who Hunted in the Shadows

In this haunting 26-minute episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale guides listeners through the gruesome true story of Fritz Haarmann, infamously known as The Butcher of Hanover. Between 1918 and 1924, Haarmann lured homeless boys and runaways from train stations into his attic flat — where he raped, murdered, and dismembered them, often biting through their throats and draining their blood. Working as a police informant by day and a predator by night, Haarmann eluded suspicion while disposing of his victims' remains in the Leine River — and possibly selling their flesh on the black market. With eerie detail and immersive storytelling, this episode explores how a broken post-war Germany allowed one of its most sadistic monsters to flourish unnoticed… until the bones began to surface.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/among-monsters-podcast-chilling-true-crime--5739090/support.

Robert Napper: The Green Chain Rapist and the Hidden Horror of South London

In this gripping 26-minute episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale uncovers the horrifying story of Robert Napper, the mentally ill and violently obsessive predator known as The Green Chain Rapist. Napper’s reign of terror began with a series of brutal sexual assaults in South London before escalating into murder — including the savage killing of 27-year-old Rachel Nickell, attacked in broad daylight with her child beside her, and the gruesome double murder of Samantha Bisset and her four-year-old daughter Jazmine. Through vivid storytelling and haunting psychological detail, this episode explores how Napper eluded police, how a wrongful arrest derailed justice, and how failures in Britain’s mental health and criminal justice systems allowed a true monster to remain undetected.This is the story of how evil slipped through the cracks — and how it was finally exposed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/among-monsters-podcast-chilling-true-crime--5739090/support.

Genene Jones: The Nursery Killer – Playing God with Children’s Lives

In this haunting episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale unpacks the case of Genene Jones, a pediatric nurse who turned hospital nurseries into her personal killing field. Operating across two Texas medical facilities during the late 1970s and early 1980s, Jones preyed on vulnerable infants, injecting them with paralyzing drugs like succinylcholine and heparin—not out of malice, but to create crises she could then “heroically” respond to. Dozens of babies died on her watch, and while hospitals looked the other way to avoid liability, the death toll quietly grew. She was finally arrested after the death of 15-month-old Chelsea McClellan, and is now suspected in the deaths of up to 60 children. This is not just the story of a killer in scrubs—it’s a horrifying portrait of ego, negligence, and systemic failure. Damien Vale guides listeners through the disturbing rise, trial, and shocking aftermath of one of America’s most chilling medical murderers—revealing the true cost of unchecked power in the hands of those we trust most.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/among-monsters-podcast-chilling-true-crime--5739090/support.
