S. 7 Episode 20: Scott Kimball - The Conman Who Fooled the FBI

What happens when a career con artist is handed a golden ticket to crime—by the FBI?

In this episode, Kat dives into the twisted, mind-blowing story of Scott Lee Kimball—a fraudster, serial killer, and FBI informant who used his connections to manipulate, deceive, and kill while hiding in plain sight.

Kimball convinced the FBI that he was a trusted informant, gaining early release from prison and free rein to roam the country. But instead of stopping criminals, he became one of the most dangerous predators himself—leaving behind a trail of fraud, deception, and murder.

How did he con the FBI? Who were his victims? And how did his lies finally catch up to him? Buckle up—this one’s a wild ride.
