Joel Rifkin

Joel Rifkin

Joel Rifkin is a serial killer believed to be responsible for the deaths of 17 women in New York in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Rifkin became obsessed with sex workers and would engage their services sometimes as often as twice a day. These are the individuals that he would ultimately target to fulfill his murderous fantasies.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss pure evil in the form of Joel Rifkin. What would lead a man with a fairly high IQ of 128 to accomplish very little in life and then down the path to murder? Was their something in his childhood that we can point to or did he just develop sick and twisted fantasies that he eventually needed to become a reality?
