  • Summary

  • Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the case of Albert Fish. Though he appeared harmless, Fish was anything but; his crimes were fueled by a disturbing blend of sadism, cruelty, and unimaginable depravity. Candice unpacks the disturbing psychology behind his crimes and the twisted fantasies that fueled his brutality. Then, she sits down with legendary true crime author Harold Schechter, who wrote Deranged: The Shocking True Story of America’s Most Fiendish Killer!, to discuss Fish’s traumatic past, his chilling confessions, and what his case reveals about the darkest corners of the human mind.
