Benjamin Atkins

Benjamin Atkins

Benjamin Atkins was a serial killer and rapist who operated in the Detroit area in 1991 and 1992. He is considered by the FBI to be America's fastest serial killer because he murdered 11 women in such a short span of time. Atkins preyed on women along Detroit's Woodward Avenue and his M.O. remained consistent. He targeted sex workers because his mother was a sex worker who took him with her and he was forced to see things that no child should have to witness.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the horrific details of serial killer Benjamin Atkins. He took the lives of 11 women during an 8-9 month time span, but, it was his only victim that managed to escape who ultimately brought him down. Atkins experienced a terrible childhood, and his defense argued that it was this childhood that ultimately made him the predator he became.
