#371: Not the List You Want to Be On
A global murder for hire plot that will leave you shook.
In partnership with
Seasons change, but our craving for top-tier true crime does not.
This time around though, we’re not going to recommend a watered-down procedural retelling of some obscure murder in a rural town.
That’s been done before.
We’ve got something far more creepy and far more unsettling than anything you might be expecting.
Ready?
It’s time to venture into the shadowy corners of the internet where nightmares are just a click away and a sprawling murder network knows no jurisdictional oversight.
Kill List will plunge you into the murky depths of the dark net, where tech journalist Carl Miller unearths a spine-chilling secret – a murder-for-hire website listing hundreds of unsuspecting targets. If adrenaline-pumping investigative journalism is your cup of tea, this podcast serves it piping hot.
Miller’s journey to warn those marked for death, all while grappling with the moral quandaries of his mission, is central to Kill List but each branch of this twisted story grips you with just how unbelievable it all really is.
With each entry on the list being a potential victim from anywhere in the world, there’s a lot of ground to cover, whether you’re warning people like Miller is or you’re the local authorities who need to be brought up to speed on the wild and insidious murder plots.
To really drive home the eeriness of how potential victims end up on the list, we’re treated to unsettling recreations of the background details and instructions left for contract killers to follow.
The conversations that Miller finds himself having with those potential victims are more meaningful, though. Wrapped up in this all are some truly absurd underlying questions like what will someone pay to have someone killed? and what leads a person to hiring a murderer?
Kill List is guaranteed to deliver your fix of nail-biting tension and emotional depth. After your tune into the first episode, you may very well find it impossible to turn away.
