- David Berkowitz (Son of Sam)
- Rex Heuermann (Alleged Long Island Serial Killer)

Spend a deliciously chilling evening with renowned criminologist and serial killer expert, Dr.
Scott Bonn, as he takes you inside the minds of the world’s most savage and prolific
murderers.
In this thrilling 90-minute show, Dr. Bonn reveals the insatiable, psychological hungers
that drive the likes of Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer to kill repeatedly with impunity and
no remorse. He explains why the majority of serial killers are either psychopaths or
sociopaths, how the two differ, and he reveals that every serial killer is compelled to
murder by a unique fantasy need. He also explains how/why serial killers are able to
successfully avoid apprehension, blend into a crowd and become invisible.
Finally, you can ask anything you ever wanted to know about serial killers in a dynamic,
live Q&A session with Dr. Bonn. Don’t miss out on this exciting event.
