Mind of a Killer

Description: Join us as we look into the history of mass, serial, and spree murder, along with some other equally chilling cases while trying to explain the public obsession with them. We will analyze the instructor’s personal collection of artwork and correspondences from the most feared and infamous killers. Instructor John Olszewski, the author of two books on serial killers, will answer the questions of what goes through a crazed killer’s mind and what in their background and childhood could be a mitigating factor that may have led them to murder.
