Killer Data: Serial Killers in the Modern Age

Killer Data: Serial Killers in the Modern Age

Author: The Fall Line® October 14, 2025 Duration: 36:06

A re-release of our classic interview with Enzo Yaksic. Part two will be out tomorrow. Atypical Homicide researcher Enzo Yaksic shares his perspective on cultural myths regarding the "average" serial killer, what—and who—has skewed our perceptions of serial killers, and why it's so important that experts, law enforcement, and consumers begin to understand what serial murder is, and how serial murderers operate in the modern age. 

The Fall Line® is an investigative true crime podcast focused on cold cases, unsolved murders, missing persons, and unidentified John and Jane Does in the United States. We deliver in-depth reporting and interviews with law enforcement and forensic experts, examining unsolved homicides, disappearances, serial crimes, and the evidence behind them. Victim-centered and research-driven, we focus on cases still seeking answers.

In the crowded landscape of true crime, The Fall Line: True Crime distinguishes itself by focusing intently on the cases that have slipped through the cracks. This investigative podcast, produced by The Fall Line®, dedicates its episodes to cold cases, unsolved murders, and missing persons who haven't received the sustained attention they deserve. The work goes beyond simply recounting facts; it involves deep, often years-long dives into the specifics of unsolved homicides, disappearances, and the stories of unidentified John and Jane Does. You'll hear directly from the people closest to these investigations-law enforcement officers who worked the original details, forensic experts explaining the science, dedicated victim advocates, and, most importantly, the families still living with the unresolved loss. Each season is built on meticulous research and interviews that piece together not only what might have happened, but also the complex reasons why answers remain elusive. The narrative is driven by a commitment to thoroughness and respect, aiming to bring new clarity to long-forgotten files. By listening to this podcast, you become part of a process that seeks to restore names to the nameless and pursue justice for the overlooked, all through careful, persistent storytelling that treats every case with the gravity it has always warranted.
