Episode 106: Andrei Chikatilo Pt. 1

Andrei Chikatilo was born in the Ukraine in 1936, in the midst of a famine. His father was sent off to war and his mother was tough on him as a child. He was shy, socially awkward, and to his embarrassment, impotent. He would go on to marry a woman and have two children, but there were always dark urges within himself that he was trying and failing to contain.
