Description

For over three decades, Katherine Ramsland has studied and communicated directly with serial killers. She has heard them recount their methods and motives, reveal their disturbing fantasies, and explain how they evade detection.

In this gripping live experience, Dr. Ramsland takes audiences deep inside the minds of some of the most notorious killers, drawing on her extensive work with the “BTK” killer, Dennis Rader, and Elmer Wayne Henley Jr., accomplice to the “Candy Man.”

This limited engagement offers a unique perspective; your ticket becomes a gateway into the minds of dangerous predators. The live show features compelling visuals, chilling insights, and an interactive audience Q&A.
