David and Fred - The Killing Cousins

In this episode, we dive into the disturbing partnership of David Alan Gore and his cousin Fred Waterfield—two men whose twisted bond led to a series of brutal murders that shocked the quiet communities of Vero Beach, Florida. From their seemingly ordinary lives to their hidden world of abduction, torture, and murder, we trace how these two relatives evolved into one of Florida’s most feared serial killer duos of the early 1980s, Was this a case of one dominant psychopath pulling the strings, or a deadly duo equally driven by depravity?
