The Trash Bag Killer – Patrick Kearney

From Robbie Ruinsburg The Trash Bag Killer – Patrick Kearney This episode explores the chilling case of Patrick Kearney, infamously known as the "Trash Bag Killer." Kearney was an American serial killer who operated in California during the 1970s, targeting young gay men. His modus operandi involved the brutal murder and dismemberment of his victims, who were often found stuffed into trash bags and discarded along highways. This gruesome practice not only earned him his notorious moniker but also underscored the horrific nature of his crimes. Kearney's background reveals a troubled childhood marked by bullying and trauma, which may have contributed to his violent tendencies. As a teenager, he began to fantasize about killing, with his first known victim being a hitchhiker he murdered in 1967. The podcast draws parallels between Kearney and other notorious serial killers, such as Jeffrey Dahmer, noting that while Dahmer sought to keep his victims alive for his twisted desires, Kearney preferred to kill quickly and then engage in necrophilia with the bodies.
