Episode: 57 - The Butcher of Rostov: Serial Killer Andrei Chikatilo
Description: We go REAL dark this week on Timesuck with an examination of Russian serial killer and relentless sadist Andrei Chikatilo, a monster who killed between 53-56 men, women, and mostly children between 1978 and 1990 in Southeastern Russia in horrific eye-removing fashion.
