EP 90 – Get Eaten by a Shark – Death By Champagne
Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! Hope you guys are ready to buckle up because Mack has brought a detailed dive into the Happy Face killer, aka Keith Hunter Jesperson. She briefly covers his childhood and then gives us an incredibly detailed story surrounding his crimes as a serial killer. Major content warning up front for this one, it’s pretty gruesome, but don’t worry she gives you enough time to skip if you choose. This episode contains foul language, animal abuse, rape, murder, torture, and really graphic descriptions of body mutilation. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!Sources“I, The Creation of a Serial Killer” Jack Olsen, C 2002“Serial killer’s sole survivor tells story after 19 years”, Toni Scott, Oroville Mercury-Register“Happy Face Killer Keith Jesperson's surviving victim sues filmmakers for defamation”, Bryan Denson, OregonLive, The Oregonian, January 10, 2019“Touching Evil: Students hear 'friendly' voice of a serial killer”, Michael A.
