Welcome to the first episode of the new series, Dark Shadows, where we will be discussing serial killers. Most of these are lesser known stories, although there may be one or two more well known ones. Today we bring you the story of "the internet's first serial killer", John Edward Robinson. Robinson took to the internet to lure women with promises of a new and better life. When their families started receiving letters from their missing family members that bore their signatures, everyone assumed that they really had just run away, but when authorities searched Robinson's property, they found more than they had bargained for.
