32. Murderer in the Hudson Valley: Nathaniel White

In this episode, we delve into the disturbing case of Nathaniel White, a serial killer who terrorized New York’s Hudson Valley in the early 1990s. Listeners will learn about his gruesome pattern of “overkill,” including multiple stab wounds, extreme mutilation, and deliberate posing of his victims. We’ll explore the investigation that spanned multiple jurisdictions, the chilling confessions White eventually provided, and the controversy surrounding his repeated parole releases. Along the way, we’ll honor the lives of the six victims and discuss the psychological underpinnings of a killer who claimed to be inspired by a violent movie scene. This is an unsettling yet essential lesson in how law enforcement, family members, and entire communities can rally together—even when faced with unimaginable brutality.
