Episode 99: The Eyeball Killer

Sinister Crimes and Cocktails: A True Crime Podcast

Apr 22 2024 • 59 mins

Some serial killers develop a kind of calling card throughout their rein of terror such the “Night Stalker” Richard Ramirez leaving a bloody pentagram or the “Son of Sam” David Berkowitz leaving handwritten letters. Serial killer Charles Albright, a native Texan, left his own unique calling card as well. During the early 90’s in Dallas, Texas, Albright killed a string of female sex workers and removed his victims’ eyeballs with surgical precision. Throughout his life, Charles Albright had been described by many who knew him as happy, untroubled and troubling no one. Per Texas Monthly, “He was, they said, a kind of Renaissance man—fluent in French and Spanish, a masterful painter, able to seduce women by playing Chopin preludes on the piano or reciting poetry by Keats.”So, what would cause a man who was so polite and charming to become such a sinister killer later in life.
