In this episode of Here’s Our Alibi, we dive into the disturbing case of Edmund Kemper — also known as the Co-Ed Killer.

We break down Kemper’s early life, his time in a psychiatric facility, and the system failures that allowed him to re-enter society. From there, we follow the escalation of his crimes in 1970s Santa Cruz, where he targeted young college women, manipulated those around him, and ultimately turned himself in.

We also explore:

• The psychology behind Kemper’s behavior
• His ability to appear intelligent, self-aware, and even likable
• How he built relationships with law enforcement while committing murders
• What Mindhunter portrayed accurately—and what hits differently when you hear the real story

This episode isn’t about glorifying a killer—it’s about understanding how manipulation, system failures, and human psychology intersect in cases like this.
