Ep 7. Patrick Kearny

In this episode of World's Most Evil Killers, the focus is on Patrick Kearney - one of America's most notorious serial killers. Kearney spent his early years in Wisconsin but moved to California as a young man. It was here that he began his killing spree, which would eventually claim the lives of 28 young men.

Kearney's killing spree began in the early 1970s and continued until he was finally caught in 1977. He would prey on young men who were hitchhiking or living on the streets, luring them to his home with the promise of food and shelter. Once they were there, Kearney would torture and kill his victims, often dismembering their bodies and disposing of them in trash bags.

One of the most chilling aspects of Kearney's crimes is that he was seemingly able to switch off his emotions at will. Even when he was caught and asked about his crimes, he showed very little remorse. He simply saw the men he killed as disposable objects, and he argued that he was providing them with an escape from their miserable lives.

Another disturbing aspect of Kearney's crimes is that they were largely motivated by sexual desire. He had a particular fetish for cutting off his victims' genitals, which he would keep as souvenirs. He was also known to engage in necrophilia, or sexual contact with the corpses of his victims.

Despite the horrific nature of his crimes, Kearney was able to evade capture for several years. This was largely due to his methodical approach to killing. He would choose his victims carefully, targeting men who were unlikely to be missed by society. He also took great care to dispose of his victims' bodies in a way that would not attract attention.

Eventually, though, Kearney's luck ran out. In 1977, he was arrested for the murder of a man named John LaMay. Police discovered several body parts in Kearney's car, and he eventually confessed to killing 28 young men over a period of several years.

Kearney was sentenced to life in prison without parole, and he remains behind bars to this day. Despite his monstrous crimes, he has remained something of an enigma to those who have studied his case. It is clear that he was a deeply disturbed individual, but it is unclear what led him to become the serial killer that he did.

This episode of World's Most Evil Killers provides a chilling look at one of America's most notorious serial killers. Through interviews with law enforcement officials and surviving victims, it explores the psychology of a man who was able to kill without remorse and without fear of being caught. It is a sobering reminder of the darkness that can reside in human hearts, and a tribute to the bravery of those who worked to bring Patrick Kearney to justice.
