In todays episode we’re going to get to know a little bit about Joe Metheny
- Joe Metheny is the personification of evil. He didn’t try to hide who he was, there were no masks. He is one of the most vile people that you will ever hear about.
- Tony explains that when he got the letter from Metheny in January 2007 he really didn't know anything about these maniacs back then.
- But now after 15 years of communicating with them and learning so much about these psychopaths, It’s like he got a PHD in Psychiatry!
- Based on his years of experience Tony will dissect a letter in a way to show how a psychopath tries to act normal but they can’t.
- Metheny didn't wear a physical mask to hide who he was, but he sure tried to hide behind his words.
- This lesson in serial killer psychopathy really gives the listeners a frame of reference for future letters.
