  • 23. The Fedora Killer: The Notorious Crimes of Timothy Dunlap
    Apr 14 2025

    In this episode of The Lethal Library, hosts Dani and Stephanie go over a chilling and somewhat absurd case from Idaho in 1991. Timothy Dunlap, a man whose fashion sense (fedora and trench coat combo) is as questionable as his life choices, embarks on a criminal spree that leaves a young bank teller and his own girlfriend dead. We unravel how Dunlap's claimed desperation and hunger led to his heinous actions, how he bafflingly represented himself in court, and how he just won't stop talking to the press—making one ridiculous statement after another. Spoiler alert: it didn't go well for him. Dive into this roller coaster of idiocy, bad decisions, and cringe-worthy quotes.
