  • Behind the Smile: Inside the Mind of the Happy Face Killer

    Keith Jesperson, known as “The Happy Face Killer,” left a trail of devastation that began with a childhood shaped by violence and escalated into a five-year spree of murder across the United States. This episode unpacks how Jesperson’s early exposure to cruelty shaped his path to becoming a notorious serial killer. From his first violent impulses at the age of five to his manipulative confessions that taunted law enforcement, we’ll explore the darkness behind his calculated murders, the tragic lives of his victims, and the people wrongly convicted in his place.
    Through detailed accounts, discover how one man weaponized his freedom as a long-haul trucker to commit heinous acts while evading capture.

    This is the story of control, destruction, and a desperate need for recognition, culminating in a series of crimes that left authorities scrambling for answers.
