Rod Matthews

Rod Matthews

Rod Matthews was once the youngest inmate in the state of Massachusetts. When he was just 14 years old, he beat another teen boy to death “just for the heck of it.” Rod planned the murder for at least a month, and he targeted Shaun Ouilette, a fellow freshman who was new to town and didn’t have many friends.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Rod Matthews. Rod claimed that he had a bad childhood that began after his father left the family. He also claimed that he was obsessed with starting fires. But, according to Rod, it was after watching "Faces of Death" that he became obsessed with wanting to know what it was like to kill someone. Experts disagreed on Rod's mental health status and whether or not he knew right from wrong at the time of the murder.
