A lot of research goes into digging up information from sometimes centuries ago. Another great channel with past crimes is They Got Away With Murder. Some more are; Ask A Mortician, Red Tree Crime, The Crime Reel, Serial Killer Documentaries are all fantastic as well. Had to add Somewhere Sinister and The Fear Files. And only if you're not sensitive absolutely fantastic channel with great content quality is ....Deadbug Says.

Non regular customers at that time of the morning for O'Coqeiro was uncommon for the place so my dad definitely took notice of Sobhraj, smiled at him and almost got up to take a chair across him. Until one of thr disguised cops furtively gestured him not to. A few minutes later, Sobhraj called his current girlfriend, another woman he conned into trusting him. Some time after that, the cops revealed themselves and arrested him.

Nurture and nature is an interesting topic. I don't think it is completely black and white. Some children have completely horrific upbringings and it is hard to see how they could turn out to be anything other than highly dysfunctional adult, but some do. We would live in a better world if we all tried to be a little harder to be nice. Then there would be fewer manufactured psychopaths and maybe the number of natural psychopaths turning to violence would reduce, I mean they could always go into banking. Seriously the boy Charles Sobhraj, had little chance. His path was set very young. I'm sad for the young boy but horrified by the adult he became.

When caught should the death penalty be off the table? Should they just be held in secure care for the remainder of their lives? Maybe how we define psychopath differs. If your definition only includes those born with a psychopathic personality. What should we call those who develop the characteristics later in life?

Also more likely to be their victims. Having a loving family that has the knowledge and resources to care for you and protect you is a privilege many don't get. If you grow up being neglected or abused, it seems normal to you. So you either go on to become an abuser or a victim of abuse. That's what the term "cycle of abuse" refers to. I was raised by a survivor of abuse and was protected from significant trauma and hardship until adulthood. In adulthood, I have found that people who have been privileged enough not to experience abuse are often uncomfortable with it. They avoid discussing it and avoid people involved in abuse, whether they are the abusers or the victims. Abuse, especially child abuse, is very common. We need to normalize talking about it so that victims aren't judged and stigmatized.

Being able to kill with no hesitation or remorse. If there were ever a description and meaning of the phrase collateral damage Charles Sobhraj certainly displayed those actions with his victims. That left so many loved ones and significant others devastated in his path like a tornado with them left to still pick up the pieces of their shattered lives and try to make sense of a senseless murderous plot.

Dude ya didn't include the Dutch dipolmat(not French ambassador thanks people in the comments) in Thailand I think definitely an dipolmat. That spent over 20 yrs tracking Charlie's down and tying all his crimes together that his evidence was used as the stuff that put Charlie away for life. He came out of retirement soon as he got the phone call and flew over to napal with the evidence and testified since he was literally the expert on Charles crimes. He completely ruined his career as a dipolmat to do this being displined repeatedly over it that he was suspended multiple times. He was also the reason why Charles was forced to flee to India since he got his apartment raided and they found all the passports for the people he killed in the safe plus all his recipts for the drugs and jewels. Oh he's also the reason interpol was able to tie all those crimes together of the tourists they thought it was separate incidents.

People who think that way are generally not great people to be around. It's a form of narcissism and vanity. "I can change them!", "They love me, so I'm immune", etcetera. Or, maybe they just lack the "base instinct" to be able to tell when people are dangerous and bad for them. They don't have the inner feeling that something is dangerous. That animal instinct. It's been dulled or ignored over time. But, you can see it their eyes. You can see who is dangerous and who is not in their eyes. You can tell who is a serial killer by seeing that there's nothing behind their eyes. That essential spark is missing from such people. Well, if you've got the animal instinct, you can sense it. If you don't... then you're as good as a lamb to slaughter. A turkey staring up at the rain and drowning. The lack of survival instinct and the inherent narcissism present in such women are why they tend to fall for serial killers/criminals. At least our species tends to be lucky in that most of these women who do this tend to end up dead before having children with the killer and passing on their lack of survival instinct to future generations.

His one contribution is teaching travelers to be skeptical of someone who is overly friendly, to get their own food and drink, and carry those roofie-defense test strips you can use to see if someone has spiked your drink. Thomas Thompson wrote a book about this case called "Serpentine." It's good.

I was lucky I was with my bf at the time, I could have ended on the road side comatose or even dead. It gave me a hard lesson in life I will never forget and I hope every young woman out there watch their drink and are careful about who they're hanging with, specially while travelling.

@@Buzza235 Thanks, I'm not sure it will be of much use as there are so many stories similar to mine out there who ended worse than mine that could serve as a reminder. But when I have an occasion to warn about it I sure do. And the scary thing is that I have much worse stories to share than that one. I also have female friends that were drugged in bars and parties also. It's the reality women can face. Not saying it can't happen to men. We just need to be careful about people out there :) Not everyone who is friendly have our best interest in mind!

Also, I don’t remember the Netflix documentary really talking about his upbringing and this is much more interesting and explanatory of his evolution into crime and murder

But Netflix shows how ruthless he is by time he chosen the victims and then murdered them. The actor who plays Charles is so convincing with his gesture and mimic. He is a monster with a good face. So creepy

I love this channel and listen to it on Spotify also. Anyway.... Whenever I listen to these types of stories, whether by this channel or others, I often think about how these con men or women don't want to work for what they aquire. But if you think about it, they really do work, and hard at that. They work hard to evade capture, they work hard at presenting themselves as whatever type person they're trying to be, etc. At the end of the day, they tend to work much harder than if they ACTUALLY had a real job. So those of you that con people and live a life of always looking behind yourself, go get a real job!

Even if im already very familiar with the cases you present, I always stick around to hear your perspective on it. The amount of success this man gained with his silver tongue is almost endearing. Too bad his cunning wasn’t as advances as his charisma, or he could of been far more successful.
