Episode Overview

Delving into the disturbed psyche of killers, Dr. Michael Stone investigates how madness and delusions shape their horrific actions. He sheds light on the cases of Michael Owen Perry, whose obsession with Olivia Newton-John and severe mental illness led him to murder five family members; Joseph Kallinger, who believed he was carrying out a divine mission that compelled him to commit acts of rape, torture, and murder; and Michael McDermott, who launched a shooting rampage at work, convinced his colleagues were Nazis. Dr. Stone analyzes the nature of these delusions and their influence on a killer's position on his scale of evil.
