Following the critically acclaimed series Hunting Warhead, Season 2 follows host Daemon Fairless as he takes us inside another dark corner of the internet: the online world helping people take their own lives.


When people around the world started killing themselves with an obscure substance a few years ago, police were unaware that something – someone – was tying many of these deaths together.


It took grieving families and investigative journalists to piece together what was actually happening and to trace the source of the substance – first, to an online suicide forum and then, to a salesman in Canada: Kenneth Law.


Police believe he sent more than 1200 shipments to 41 countries… and may be connected to more than 145 deaths around the world.


But this story is far bigger than any one man… It's about the places desperate people go when they can’t find what they need in the real world – and a deadly problem we’re afraid to talk about.


About HUNTING: Investigating where the internet meets the unspeakable. Host Daemon Fairless tackles subjects most people would rather avoid, like online child sexual abuse (S1: Hunting Warhead), or the forums dedicated to suicide (S2: Hunting the Suicide Salesman).

It's almost a shame that such an outstanding team has taken on this subject because it will certainly limit the # of people that can bear to listen. But the topic just underscores how great they are that they manage to really get inside the minds of the criminals and the hunters and explain them both.

This podcast is a powerful and eye-opening listen. While the media dismisses concerns about child trafficking and sexual exploitation as mere conspiracy theories, trump supporters, or QANON, this podcast reveals a disturbing glimpse of the grim reality, and it's just a small part of a larger evil.

There are dangerous individuals strangers, parents, close relatives, and more out there who prey on children for their twisted motives, exploiting them for financial gain. Parents, stay vigilant—protect your children and be aware of those around you. Do not dismiss a child as a bad kid because they are acting out, or a nasty child because they may have done something they did not know was wrong. You never know what might be happening behind closed doors or on the dark web.

Matthew 18:6 (NIV):
"If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
