The host, Brandon, introduces himself as a crime expert and explains that he started his own podcast, Serial Slayers, to provide factual information about serial killers. He criticizes mainstream media for glorifying certain killers and expresses his passion for educating people about the subject. He discusses the first topic of his podcast, Elizabeth Bathory, who was known as the Blood Countess and is considered history's most prolific female serial killer. Brandon describes some of her gruesome actions and mentions that she killed over 600 women. He also briefly mentions other famous serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and plans to cover more cases in future episodes. Brandon concludes by inviting listeners to engage in discussions and promises to provide factual content without being concerned about offending anyone's feelings. He hints at discussing a current case in Iowa involving a potential serial killer. Overall, Brandon aims to educate listeners about true crime and the crimina Hello, how's it going out there everybody? Um, this is actually going to be my first podcast and my name is Brandon, I'm the host of Serial Slayers and I wanted to do my own podcast because more or less TikTok or the other streaming services, it's really difficult to get facts and information out there on such a short span of room, if you will. A little bit about me, I am a crime expert. My job over the past decade has been working in the criminal justice field, all my degrees are in criminal justice. So I kind of have a passion for it and much as the same as what seems to be going on currently, the fascination with serial killers and there's just so much that's being missed and not, it seems that the mainstream media is like over glorifying certain people, i.e. the Dahmer Netflix series that just came out and there's nothing wrong with Dahmer, but I'll get into this in another episode, Dahmer just wasn't that great to put it simply and I say great in the aspect of he wasn't, he's not even in the top 10 of the best serial killers and I know what I say may sound macabre and you're like, what do you mean best serial killers? People died. I understand that. I get what you're saying. But at the same time, you hopefully comprehend where it is that I'm going with. Hopefully now I'm new to this whole service, so if you guys have questions, comments, anything like that, feel free to put them in and I'll get to them as I can. Like I said, this is all still relatively new to me. Some of the things that we're going to talk about today though, America, not even America, history's most prolific female serial killer. Her name was Elizabeth Bathory. She was known as the Blood Countess. And yes, as the episodes progress and go on, I will go into more US-focused serial killers and the norm of what people know. The thing is though that I just feel that there's so much being missed out on that I want to try and help educate more people, essentially what it comes down to. The first one we're going to talk about, like I said, is Elizabeth Bathory. She was actually known as the Blood Countess. She was a serial killer way before the term serial killer was ever coined. The little history there, the terminology serial killer was actually coined in the 1970s by Robert Ressler of the FBI Behavioral Health Unit. Before that it was mass killer, serial murderer. If you look back at David Berkowitz, son of Sam, another one we'll talk about, he wasn't known as a serial killer until after the terminology came to be. Between Elizabeth Bathory, or Ruth Scholar, the Countess, a serial killer back in, you know, she was alive from 1560 to 1614, 1560 to 1614, and hungry. And real quick, you may have heard stories about her. She's the one who allegedly bathed in the blood of women in order to keep her youth, to rejuvenate her skin, if you will. The stories of that didn't really come out until after she had already passed away. She passed away in prison if I believe, yeah, she was incarcerated, she wasn't executed. But the reason that she is history's most prolific serial killer, she killed over 600 women, 600 women. And Guinness Book of World Records actually is the one that named her the most prolific female serial killer. It's not just me grabbing something out of thin air to make her sound awesome and cool. She, I will tell you real quick, let me fix something, I'm sorry about that. So she was a wealthy and powerful person, right, but times were different back then. She had her first kid, I believe, around, I don't know, in 1585 she had five different kids, two infants died at birth, both a daughter and a son. She had a multitude of kids, but by age 11 she was considered a well-educated girl and became engaged to a count. So married by the age of 15, you know how history goes. But let's talk about the severity of her actions and what it is that she did. She, let's see if I can remember, some of the things that she did, like, okay, and I'm going to compare and contrast it to like the current Netflix hit of Dahmer. Let me just say that cannibalism has been happening forever, necrophilia has been happening forever. I don't see the fascination anymore as to why people are so enthralled with Dahmer, if you will, when you have others like Bundy and, you know, BTK, Ed Gein, I mean, we'll go on as episodes continue about the severity of the crimes that they did, which was just astounding. But Bathory, some of her victims, she would actually cover them in honey and leave them outside for insects to devour. Just taking an excerpt of one of the things she did, during the colder parts of the year, she would strip women naked and force them into taking ice baths outside. She tortured them by driving needles into their fingers, cutting their nose or lips or whipping them with metals. She'd bite the shoulders and breasts as well as burning the flesh, including the genitals of some victims. They suggest that she had a sexual motivation, but it was never confirmed. So she's, I don't want to say, like, the jumping off point, because I forget the gentleman's name, there was another person, he was claimed to be the absolute, you know, the first serial killer, because the first American serial killer was H.H. Holmes, and right around when the Chicago fair was going on, he's the first American serial killer, okay? And that's good, great, and fine. But I just think that, and I don't want to say this the wrong way, but it's going to come off the wrong way, but credit needs to be given where credit is due. And the credit to her is she's one of the first, you know, she was one of the first serial killers of her time. Another one, Mary Lou Cotton, she was another serial killer. I mean, you've got Typhoid Mary, all of them. There's countless people who enacted the, or carried out the crimes that would be considered a serial killer today, but it was because, it was before the time was phrased as such, so they weren't called serial killers. And they weren't looked at the same way, like, I mean, look at her, dating back then, 15, age of marriage is not so much what you see nowadays. I mean, depending on what state you're in, I guess, but that's neither here nor there. But yeah, I just want to, this is just kind of a quick, how you do kind of a podcast for this one. I do look to go more in depth and more in length as we progress on further. Like I said, I'm open to any conversations that anyone wants to have. It's not just about serial killers, I need that to be known. The channel is also going to focus on true crime and I'll dive into court cases. Like there's one that I recently had posted about and talked about on TikTok, which I'm going to dive into because it's still in the sentencing phases, if you will, about how somebody was convicted without evidence and how that can possibly be further detrimental to the criminal justice system that we're already dealing with here in society. So there's a multitude of things that we're going to talk about on this channel. The majority of it is in the realm of criminal justice. I look to drop one, maybe two episodes a week. Again, if you have any comments, drop them, please do. I'm open to talking about anything, any questions that you have. This is not a PC channel. I'm not here to worry about your feelings and if you are offended, you know, facts offend people. It is what it is. But we're going to get out there and we're going to make sure that it's known. So again, this is just a quick 12 minute podcast. I want to introduce myself. Thank you for joining. Hopefully you guys look forward to content. One of the things I tell you right now, I'm going to jump around and go from one of history's best to a current case that's going on right now in the state of Iowa. I don't want to misspeak on the gentleman's name, well, the person's name, because I'm all about facts here with this. You're not going to get fluff from me, you're going to get facts and that's how it needs to be. So the person in Iowa, though he's been dead for nine years, his daughters recently came in and stated that their dad was a serial killer. And they've taken cadaver dogs to the property, they've laid out where the bodies are located. If this is found true, he will be the most prolific serial killer in the United States, which is currently the title held by Samuel Little. But we'll get back into that. I'll make a whole episode about that here coming up pretty soon. So this is just an introduction of who I am and what this channel is about. I look forward to hearing from you guys and I'll be dropping more content here coming up pretty soon. So thank you for tuning in and I look forward to seeing you guys here on Serial Slayers. Take care.
