In this episode, Macky Outlaw and Jus dive into one of the most shocking true crime stories you've probably never heard: Dr. Glennon Edward Engleman, the respected St. Louis dentist who secretly became a cold-blooded serial killer and contract killer.
Over more than two decades (from the late 1950s to 1980), Engleman planned and carried out at least five confirmed murders—possibly up to seven or more—all driven by greed through insurance scams, murder-for-hire schemes, and manipulation of the women in his life. From shootings and dynamite explosions to car bombings, his methods were calculated and ruthless, all while maintaining a normal life as a professional dentist.
We break down his known victims, the twisted insurance fraud plots, how he charmed accomplices into helping him, the investigations that finally caught up to him, and why this case inspired elements of horror films like "The Dentist."
