In this chilling episode of Terror Bites, we unmask the horrifying double life of John Edward Robinson—widely regarded as the internet’s first documented serial killer. Long before online safety was even a concept, Robinson used early BDSM chatrooms and online classifieds to lure vulnerable women into deadly traps. Promising jobs, romance, and security, he manipulated his victims before silencing them forever and storing their bodies in industrial barrels across Kansas and Missouri.
But his crimes didn’t stop at murder. Robinson forged identities, cashed checks of the dead, and even stole a baby to raise as his own niece. With victims dating back to the 1980s and a string of cold cases still surrounding his name, Robinson turned digital trust into a murder weapon.
Tune in to hear how a seemingly ordinary man used the early internet to become one of the most terrifying predators in modern true crime history.
