In this episode of Scream and Sugar, we dive into the chilling case of the 2014 Isla Vista murders committed by Elliot Rodger. Through a deep analysis of his manifesto, we explore his warped ideology, the warning signs that were ignored, and the toxic subcultures that fueled his descent into violence. We break down the timeline of events, the investigation that followed, and the broader societal issues surrounding misogyny, entitlement, and mental health. Join us as we sip on some coffee and dissect one of the most infamous crimes of the decade and the lasting impact it left behind. Part II out soon!
