EP201: The Crossbow Cannibal

Stephen Griffiths, the “Crossbow Cannibal,” hunted his victims with a crossbow before dismembering their bodies and eating their remains. A criminology student in Bradford, England, Griffiths didn’t just study murder - he became the very thing he had spent years obsessing over: a serial killer. Horrifyingly, part of his blood-soaked reign was captured on CCTV when a terrified woman was seen running for her life through his apartment building's hallway, with Griffiths chasing close behind. Moments later, he shot her in the head with a crossbow. But what investigators uncovered would reveal something even more disturbing: a killer consumed by homicide, violence, and death who had ultimately made himself the subject of his own twisted research.
